A message from the series "Sunday Service." Challenging times call for a safe refuge, a good source of wise counsel, and courage to move forward in faith. Can we find answers to all of these needs in Scripture? Someone has defined wisdom as seeing ourselves and our world through the eyes of God, and this ability is activated when we acknowledge our need for His presence in our lives and for His lordship over us (the very lordship He confirmed and demonstrated at the cross). Wisdom is responding with all our heart to God’s call to live under His reign (what Jesus established at Calvary). When God’s wisdom rules our heart, then it provides the right response to relational problems, health crises, financial challenges, religious controversies, political turmoil, social instability and upheaval, you name it. We must turn to the Word of God for the wisdom we need to face challenging times. “Maturity” means this is your instinctive strategy and default mode.

CloseBack in Numbers 13 and 14 we read that the children of Israel had been led to the edge of the Promised Land. God had led Moses to send in 12 spies to search out the land. They had returned with stories of a great land that was truly a land of milk and honey as God had promised . . . but it was also filled with giants. 10 of the spies were convinced that the situation was hopeless. Their view infected the people of Israel and the people rebelled against Moses and chose not to trust God and enter the Promised Land. Because of their unbelief, God declared that no one over the age of 20 would ever enter the Promised Land, except for Joshua and Caleb, the two spies who had believed in God and had declared that God could deliver the children of Israel.
