"Scripture breathes wisdom like we breathe oxygen. It can't not. Through Scripture, God reveals Himself. The wisdom cannot be captured, let alone contained, on a neon bumper sticker or rubber bracelet. Wisdom itself invites us to go deeper - right into a relationship with God himself." --- Margaret Feinberg in The Organic God page 78
Leadership books. Cool, innovative pastors. And more.
I am always encouraged by people who get it. They have taken a skill, a gift, an idea and shoved it to the next level. Could be a business like one I watched on The Big Idea that started with $78 worth of product but is now grossing 100's of millions of dollars only a couple years later. It is always the church that started just a few years back but it make a huge difference, maybe with lots of people but with so much more as well. People who get wisdom need to be heard.
That is why Proverbs continues to be part of my daily routine. Every time I go there, I get something. I may have read the verse 100 times, but God shows up and hits my heart, my leadership desire, being a dad or husband or in countless areas of life I find help.
In God's wisdom we are invited, as Feinberg wrote, into a relationship with God. To know Him. To love Him and listen to Him. His wisdom changes us and charges us to move forward, to step up, to lead with courage and to live with integrity. Sounds like great business principles and leadership skills to me. What do you think?
Proverbs 3:18 (nlt) --- Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her;happy are those who hold her tightly.
Proverbs 4:7 (nlt) --- Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do!And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.
Colossians 2:3 (nlt) --- In him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Real wisdom comes from God. You can get it from great authors and business people who don't know our God, but their wisdom, the core and heart of it, came from God first. Think about. Real wisdom lasts.
