What separates the wise from the merely knowledgeable? In this soul-stirring episode of Wisdom for the Day, we explore Ephesians 5:15 and unpack what it truly means to "walk in wisdom" through life's complex journey.

Diving deep into the profound truth that "not everything that's permissible is beneficial, not everything that's popular is pure, not everything that feels good is God," this meditation challenges us to develop spiritual discernment in a world that often prizes speed over substance. The wisdom revealed here isn't about intellectual superiority—it's about the transformative power of slowing down and approaching life with holy intention.

"Wise people don't stumble less because they're smarter. They stumble less because they walk slower." This countercultural insight invites us to resist the urge to rush decisions merely to feel in control. Instead, we're encouraged to seek counsel before leaping, check motives before speaking, and replace reactive patterns with prayerful discernment. The episode beautifully illustrates how wisdom functions as the compass that keeps our steps aligned with our divine calling.

Whether you're facing major life decisions or seeking to bring more intentionality to your everyday choices, this reflection offers practical guidance for developing the discernment needed to walk worthy of your calling. Join us in this powerful exploration of wisdom that transforms not just what we do, but how we live. Listen now, and discover how slowing down might be the very key to moving forward with greater purpose and peace.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.

00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:27.086
Today is Day 134, walk in Wisdom.

00:00:27.908 --> 00:00:32.585
From the book of Ephesians, chapter 5, verse 15, from the New Living Translation.

00:00:32.585 --> 00:00:39.531
We're not just called to walk, we're called to walk wisely.

00:00:39.531 --> 00:00:44.286
Ephesians 5, verse 15 says so be careful how you live.

00:00:44.286 --> 00:00:59.371
Don't live like fools, but like those who are wise.

00:00:59.371 --> 00:01:04.155
Ephesians 5.15 says Not everything that's permissible is beneficial.

00:01:04.155 --> 00:01:07.438
Not everything that's popular is pure.

00:01:07.438 --> 00:01:10.709
Not everything that feels good is God.

00:01:12.123 --> 00:01:15.712
Walking in wisdom means you don't rush decisions just to feel in control.

00:01:15.712 --> 00:01:18.950
It means you seek counsel before you leap.

00:01:18.950 --> 00:01:22.329
It means you check your motives before you speak.

00:01:22.329 --> 00:01:30.328
It means you stop reacting to every fire and start asking Lord what's right here?

00:01:30.328 --> 00:01:34.390
Wise people don't stumble less because they're smarter.

00:01:34.390 --> 00:01:37.328
They stumble less because they walk slower.

00:01:37.328 --> 00:01:39.367
They walk prayerfully.

00:01:39.367 --> 00:01:40.906
They pay attention.

00:01:40.906 --> 00:01:43.989
They don't just look around, they look ahead.

00:01:45.620 --> 00:01:48.551
If you want to walk worthy, you need more than passion.

00:01:48.551 --> 00:01:50.344
You need discernment.

00:01:50.344 --> 00:01:55.067
Wisdom is the compass that keeps your step aligned with your calling.

00:01:55.067 --> 00:02:00.108
Let's pray, god, I don't want to live careless.

00:02:00.108 --> 00:02:06.612
Give me wisdom today, not just for the big decisions, but for the little ones too.

00:02:06.612 --> 00:02:20.288
Help me to live with purpose and intention and keep my feet steady on the path You've laid out, a good one for me, and I thank you In Jesus' precious name, amen.

00:02:20.288 --> 00:02:26.909
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
