Think about a difficult situation that you are facing. It may be a relationship matter, complications at work, a frustration with a person. You might feel wronged in some way, or you may feel that you have been underappreciated or overlooked. Perhaps it is a financial situation or some difficult decision you are having to make. Whatever the situation there is wisdom to overcome it. Wisdom is our guide out of the labyrinth. If you feel like you are in the midst of the labyrinth, search for wisdom before you try to find your way. Before you panic and impulsively rush around to fix things and find your way, find wisdom. Because wisdom will be your guide. Wisdom is the voice of God speaking to you in that situation. We often don’t hear that voice because we are too busy rushing about trying to fix things. Another reason we often don’t hear the voice of wisdom is because that voice is saying something that we don’t want to hear. It may be saying something that is just too counter-intuitive for you. Maybe the answer involves getting rid of something you want to hold onto or giving up something you are too attached to. Maybe it involves self-sacrifice, bearing the sin of another, reconciling with someone, realising that it is you who are wrong and not another person. God can speak into your situation right now but you have to be willing to hear. Wisdom will overcome but is your heart open to his voice?
Ask God to speak into your situation and to give you ears to hear.
Read Ecclesiastes 9:13-18
