Wisdom comes from Godly men and women.  <\/strong>The kind of people who reflect the image of God and display the character of Christ.  <strong>Wisdom comes from those interested in you in the kingdom.<\/strong>  They don&#8217;t give it for fame, money or attention.  They give it because they care.  <strong>Wisdom comes from one who cares about your wellbeing.  Wisdom comes from those who worship the God of Scripture.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you receive wisdom? <\/strong> Be willing to discuss what you&#8217;re doing.  Don&#8217;t hide your struggles.  Don&#8217;t pretend to be someone you aren&#8217;t.  Be willing to hear hard words.   Be ready to evaluate and implement the wisdom. <strong> Discern that this is from God. <\/strong> Pray, evaluate, communicate and initiate. <\/p>\n<div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_1247\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2142-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/curwensvillealliance.org\/mp3s\/2025\/20251109FindingWisdomWISDOM.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/curwensvillealliance.org\/mp3s\/2025\/20251109FindingWisdomWISDOM.mp3\">https:\/\/curwensvillealliance.org\/mp3s\/2025\/20251109FindingWisdomWISDOM.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_links_mp3\" style=\"margin-bottom: 1px !important;\">Podcast: <a href=\"https:\/\/curwensvillealliance.org\/mp3s\/2025\/20251109FindingWisdomWISDOM.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_pinw\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Play in new window\" onclick=\"return powerpress_pinw('https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/podcasts\/?powerpress_pinw=2142-podcast');\" rel=\"nofollow\">Play in new window<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/curwensvillealliance.org\/mp3s\/2025\/20251109FindingWisdomWISDOM.mp3\" class=\"powerpress_link_d\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" download=\"20251109FindingWisdomWISDOM.mp3\">Download<\/a><\/p><p class=\"powerpress_links powerpress_subscribe_links\">Subscribe: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.curwensvillealliance.org\/podcasts\/?feed=podcast\" class=\"powerpress_link_subscribe powerpress_link_subscribe_rss\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Subscribe via RSS\" rel=\"nofollow\">RSS<\/a><\/p><!--powerpress_player-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 11\/09\/25 by Pastor Steve Shields.
