11-20-17 TWELVE STEPPING WITH SUPPORT FROM SCRIPTURE


Proverb 10v21 - The words of the Godly encourage many, but fools are destroyed by their lack of common sense. NLV


STEP 6 We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:10 NIV

If everything we do continually causes trouble then we need to recognize and acknowledge that we may lack the gift of common sense. Taking time and thinking about and seeking advice helps us develop common sense. For some it comes naturally we call it street smart, but for most, we lack the gift.So let me encourage you, the Bible calls common-sense wisdom, and if we ask God he will give it to us abundantly.
