Better Living

“When examining these aspects within a biblical and godly framework, the most insightful approach isn’t merely understanding what they inherently mean, but also recognizing the greatest challenges that could hinder their proper application. Wisdom transcends mere knowledge or intelligence, which pertains to the capacity to gather information. Wisdom, especially of a godly nature, is about applying the right responses to various situations. Courage, as understood within the context of the prayer, involves not just eradicating our fear of worldly elements but cultivating a reverential fear of God Himself. True godly strength is not about our ability to dominate challenges but rather about our willingness to fully yield to the power of the Holy Spirit. This divine strength often calls us not to conquer but to persevere, committing to a posture of surrender to the Holy Spirit, allowing His power to be the sole source of our endurance against any force that seeks to thwart God’s will.”

“By doing so, Jesus emphasized the interconnectedness of the commandments. They aren’t separate decrees, each with its own independent weight. They are deeply intertwined, making up a holistic law.”
