Wisdom goes beyond knowledge. Wisdom is preceded by faith without wavering. Acting in wisdom is by faith without wavering and growing in wisdom is by faith without wavering. That’s the wise step we all must take, to trust without doubt. Take a step back and have true moment of honesty towards yourself. Are you trusting without doubt, or doubting without faith?
There is a misplaced fear which produces anxiety and unrealistic expectations of what the world could become. Humanity has lost its compass and purpose, not because it is facing so many innovations requiring adaptations to be made to the physical and the legal infrastructure. I would rather advocate for the loss of constancy and absolutes.
On the contrary, we learn from the Bible that God is eternally unchanged in his pure character. This makes God reliable and trustworthy, so we know what to expect in different life situations.
I am daily reminded of the wealth of Wisdom found in the Bible. I have had recent challenges in my life which I could only navigate by contemplating God’s word and in prayer. I have observed that, as a regular user of AI tools either for work or Bible study, if unaware of what the Internet and AI can and will provide, the end user will rather be a simpler taster of information. Digesting whatever is on the plate without knowing what is on the plate.
If the Word is the foundation and the path its direction, then the walker’s motivation must be Christ Himself — Lord and Saviour. Self-examination, therefore, is not comparison with others, but reflection before Him. I am to examine myself in the light of Christ alone, allowing His character to shape what is formed in me — by grace, through faith.
