God has the wisdom you need. He has the wisdom you want. Let Him guide you. The world’s “theories” aren’t based on God’s word. His word won’t fail. The world’s ideas may have flashes of truth and an appearance of effectiveness, but they will not produce disciples.

Did You Know You Were Glorious?
His life shines in you. His glory is His presence and His presence is in you.
Don’t Judge the Heart
When someone messes up, don’t be too quick to judge their heart and motives. Consider yourself. Is your heart is in the right place? Is your head is in the right place? Do your actions always match?
Who Are You Serving?
Serving others is an extension of serving God. They aren’t two different things. When you are serving God by serving others, there is no burnout, no resentment at the lack of gratitude. There is fatigue and weariness. There is struggle, but there is fruit, especially in your life. If serving others is making you more like Jesus, if it’s producing the fruits of the Spirit in you, then you are serving God. If serving others is taking away your joy, your peace, your patience, etc., then you are serving yourself.
Serving God or Yourself
Serve God alone. He tells us to serve others and in submission and service to Him we can do that. But if we put serving others before Him, the person we are really serving is ourselves. Who was Mary serving? Who was Martha serving?
Wisdom
God has the wisdom. He has the knowledge. He has the foresight. What you lack He has. Ask and receive. Be prepared to receive. Don’t reject His wisdom when He makes it plain to you. Reject the foolish council of the world and follow His wisdom down the narrow way.
Servant
A Christian is God’s slave and part of that job is to be a servant of others.
An effective servant has many qualities. Steadfast. Intent. Focused. Surrendered. Humble. Broken. These aren’t contradictions; meekness and strength are complementary, not contradictory.
Ambassador for Christ
When you proclaim that Christ is in you, then you are an ambassador for Christ. What they know of Him is what they see in you. Do they see mercy, love, forgiveness, grace, truth, compassion, patience, kindness, …? If you are God’s light and love for all to see, what did you show them today?
In the Midst
If the Holy Spirit is in you, then you have God in your presence. He’s there in the midst of your day. He’s there in the middle of the mess, in the middle of the chaos, in the middle of the laughter, in the middle of the singing. Wherever you are is where His family is gathered, and He promises to be there too: eating around the kitchen table, playing on the living room rug, reading a good night book on the bed. Look for Him there in the middle of it all, in all the little moments of your day. See Him there. Hear Him there. Honor Him in those moments by shining His light and sharing His love.
What You Are
If you are in Christ, you are His ambassador, His representative. You are to be His light and love for all to see. In Christ you are God’s light and love in the world.
