DAY THREE: The Person of Wisdom

To want to grow in favor with God is the most natural desire in the world. Wisdom knows how. Wisdom gives us the keys to understand and use the favor that we’ve been given in accordance with God’s purposes in giving it to us. Increase in wisdom and increase in favor go hand in hand for us because they are interdependent. Jesus, once again, modeled this for us, as we see in Luke 2:52. He “increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and men” (MEV).

In fact, Jesus is the person of wisdom as we see in the above scripture from 1 Corinthians. This should convince us that studying the life of Christ and deepening our relationship with Him are central to stewarding our favor with God. Seeking God’s wisdom and studying the life of Jesus are essential disciplines for every believer. How do these two disciplines help you steward well the favor He has put on your life?

Point to Ponder: I want God to set up a holy hunger in me to dig deep into His Word so that I might know Him more, love Him more, and look more like Him every day.
