The gift of WISDOM
You lead with WisdomJames 1:5 says if you're lacking wisdom, God gives it generously when you ask, no judgment attached. This isn't about being the smartest person in the room, it's a Spirit-given ability to see past the noise to what actually matters.In your faith life, this might look like guiding someone through a hard season, helping a small group actually apply scripture to real decisions, or being asked to weigh in before a big call.Even outside church, this often shows up as being the friend people go to before signing a contract, ending a relationship, or changing careers, not because you have more information, but because your advice tends to hold up months later.Stir it up: The next time someone asks your opinion on something real, slow down and actually pray before answering instead of reacting right away.A daily reminder that what you're doing when you counsel a friend well is a real, Spirit-given gift, not just being "the smart one."If this one landed closer than you expected, that's usually not a coincidence — worth sitting with before you scroll on.
