Christ our Wisdom

Hi Ladies,

I’ve been wanting to share some thoughts on wisdom with you from our ladies’ James study! But before I do, I believe it would be helpful for us to meditate on the lyrics to “Christ our Wisdom.” Kevin introduced this song to us last Sunday, and it fits so well with our study through Proverbs (and James!). 

So, can I encourage you to read the lyrics below, and perhaps write them out or add the song to your playlist this week? 

Christ our wisdom, we are humbled
When You hide Your ways from us.
You have purposes unnumbered
Each one good and glorious.
Help us trust when we grow weary,
Free us from our anxious thoughts;
Give us grace to see more clearly
You are God and we are not.

Christ our wisdom, be our gladness
When we fail to understand
You ordain all joy and sadness
To fulfill Your perfect plan.
Help us know You rule with power
Over every raging flood;
In our most uncertain hour
You are God and we are loved.

Christ our wisdom, we will follow
Though the way ahead is veiled.
As we journey through the shadows
Grant us faith where sight has failed.
Help us cling to Your commandments,
Strengthened by Your faithful word.
We will never be abandoned,
You are God and we are Yours.

Christ our wisdom, we adore You
For the beauty of the cross.
Once in foolishness we scorned You,
But Your blood has ransomed us.
Help us sing the endless mercies
Of Your humble heart to save!
Christ our wisdom, Christ our glory,
You are God forever praised!

Let’s pray for each other this week, that we would grow to trust and follow Wisdom incarnate more and more as we walk this life by faith, knowing that one day our faith will become sight, and we will be with Him, forever! ❤️🙏🏼
