Wisdom for Victory!

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Cor 15:57 ESV)

We long for it- the thrill of victory: The adrenalin rush of a win! The feeling of:

• The panoramic view from on top of a mountain after an arduous uphill climb.
• The reach and touch of the wall at the end of an all-out swim.
• The push to break the tape at the end of heart-pumping foot or bike race.
• The camaraderie of the team, jumping up and down as a pack, with a trophy raised.

These are unique victories, but for most of us, victory comes in the form of:

• Landing that big client or perfect job
• Signing papers for the new home, boat, or RV
• Hearing from your boss that you got the promotion or contract
• Hearing that you, your kids, or grands got that straight A report card
• Garnishing the college or graduate school scholarship

But sometimes victories are raw and real, like:

• Reading a positive blue line signaling that long awaited baby
• Overcoming a nagging negative habit that has held you back from life’s best
• Healing an emotional hurt that has been haunting you
• Connecting spiritually with God to hear His plan and path
• Shedding the weight that has put your health and wellness at risk
• Repairing a relationship so it is healthy and whole again
• Seeing a prodigal return to Christ, and to the family
• Helping a child or grandchild overcome an obstacle to move forward in life
• Returning home from deployment
• Waking up this side of heaven

No matter what the victories are that you long for, know what if that desire matches God’s Heart and Word, God is in it with you!

In Discovering Wisdom in Proverbs: A Creative Bible Study Experience, we share God’s heart and clear path to victory in the book of Proverbs. No matter what the victories are that you long to achieve, know that if that desire matches God’s heart and Word, God is in it with you! Proverbs 21:31 proclaims “…victory rests with the LORD.” God plants the seed for the goal, empowers your path and celebrates the victory with you!

In the book of Proverbs, we gain a glimpse God’s battle plan to victory:

• “He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,” (Proverbs 2:7 NIV)
• “Be sure of this: The wicked will not go unpunished, but those who are righteous will go free.” (Proverbs 11:21 NIV)
• “The wicked are overthrown and are no more, but the house of the righteous stands firm..” (Proverbs 12:7 NIV)
• The name of the LORD is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe.” (Proverbs 18:10)

Do you notice a common thread in what is our part in garnering victory? Living righteous and upright. Righteousness capsulized means blameless, innocent, and just and upright is to live on the straight path. Victory come when we seek to live in congruence with God’s principles. Living in God’s guidelines is to live on the path of wisdom.

Thank you Pam, Jean, and Karla for these encouraging words.
