My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

- Colossians 2:2-3

God is the ultimate source of wisdom and knowledge.

All around the world, people spend millions of dollars trying to understand the world around them and gain access to knowledge pertaining to the future.

But our God already has all the answers.

What you are looking for has been in front of you the whole time, offered as a free gift of deep relationship with the Creator Himself.

All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him. Instead of drawing from the well of your own human understanding, draw from the well of God’s wondrous wisdom.

The only way to do this is by staying in close communication with Him.

Due to the finite nature of our human minds, we cannot comprehend everything in this broken world.

However, when we choose to keep our thoughts centered on God, His wisdom imparted through us will enable us to make sense and discern order of the world’s fragmented state.

At the same time, allow yourself room to accept the mysteries that come with knowing God so intimately… let it open up space in your heart for childlike wonder and worship!

There is so much more you have yet to experience and new heights that the Lord longs to take you. View His mysteries with excitement, and let it unite you with fellow believers in love for Him.

Today, look to the Lord for all your answers! His wisdom and revelation knowledge is waiting to be accessed by you, helping you in your time of need.

With Love,
Sarah Sherstad
