Growing Closer to God
How has your relationship with God been recently?
The easy way to go through life is to rely on your own understanding and be wise in your own eyes.
What does the Bible tell us about counteracting this?
Proverbs 3:1-14
5: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
7: Do not be wise in your own eyes: fear the Lord and shun evil.
13: Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding,
Proverbs 3:21
Do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight, preserve sound judgment and discretion.
These verses focus on gaining wisdom and applying it to pursue after God.
God is pursuing us, but we must put in the work of pursuing him to fully know the depths of a relationship with Him.
