Honoring Wisdom (3 of 5)
Series: A Life That Honors God
Pastor Frank Damazio
If you honor God by living according to honorable principles, God will honor you. We have identified 10 basic honoring principles and are working through as many of them as possible. Today, we examine wisdom as one of the values we are to honor. A wise person will be honored by God with biblical success. Success is not measured by what we are, but by what we could be. It is not based on what we do, but what we could be or should be doing in direct proportion to our obedience to the 10 basic honoring principles. By doing so, we will discover God's fullest blessings and favor upon our lives.
Many ask the "Why" questions:
- Why did this happen to me?
- Why didn't God intervene?
- Why is God silent?
- Why hasn't God met my needs?
Wisdom principles will help answer these questions.
