Reflection Week: Walking in Wisdom

Series 4: Decisions & Wisdom

Wisdom is not proven in what we know.
Wisdom is revealed in what we choose.

As we close out Series 4, we pause to reflect on three core themes:

• Asking God for wisdom (James 1:5)
• Trusting God in our choices (Proverbs 3:5–6)
• Surrendering to God’s will over our own (Romans 12:2)

1. Asking for Wisdom

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God…” (James 1:5)

Wisdom begins with humility. It requires admitting we do not see the whole picture.

Reflection:
Have I been asking God for wisdom before making decisions, or only asking Him to bless what I already decided?

2. Trusting God in Choices

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…” (Proverbs 3:5–6)

Trust is active surrender. It means obedience even when clarity is incomplete.

Reflection:
Where is God inviting me to trust Him more deeply?

3. God’s Will vs. My Will

“Be transformed by the renewing of your mind…” (Romans 12:2)

Discernment flows from transformation. When our minds are renewed, our desires begin aligning with God’s will.

Reflection:
Where might I be resisting God because His will challenges my comfort?

Practical Decision Journal Exercise

Set aside 20–30 minutes this week and journal through:

1. Where did I move ahead without asking God first?
2. Where is God asking me to trust Him more fully?
3. Where might I be resisting His will?

Write the Scriptures out in your journal. Pray through them slowly.

Reflection is spiritual formation.
