Throughout my years of ministry I have faced a number of situations that were beyond my expertise. Like Solomon of old I prayed, “‘Give me wisdom…that I may lead this people…’” (2 Chronicles 1:10). Most often God’s answer came when I least expected it. Sometimes it came as my first thought upon awaking in the morning, full blown and complete. At others times it came while I was daydreaming or thinking about something else. I can only conclude that my mind needs to be at rest before God can impart His wisdom to me.

“Teach me your ways, O LORD,
that I may live according to your truth!”

— Psalm 86:11 (NLT)

Lord Jesus help us not to obsess about things that are beyond our control. Instead help us to trust Your wisdom. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
