The Critical Factor of Faith

We all know that miracles are a gift—freely given by the Holy Spirit. Yet, if we’re honest, we’ve all faced moments when the miracle we needed didn’t manifest. In those moments, we often turn inward and start judging ourselves or even questioning God. We assume we know why the miracle didn’t happen—and then, based on those assumptions, we try to fix the problem in our own strength.

But here’s the truth: when we’re in need, God doesn’t tell us to seek a miracle first—He tells us to seek wisdom. The critical factor in faith is knowing and trusting what God is saying!

Wisdom may have many definitions, but one thing is certain: true wisdom always leads to practical application. It shows us how to walk out God’s promises in real life. That’s why Scripture says wisdom is the principal thing—the most essential factor of all. Get wisdom before you attempt to devise your plan!

God knows what’s in your heart. He knows the path you’re able to walk—the path that will lead you to the life you desire. Without wisdom, we waste time chasing what worked in the past or trying to imitate someone else’s formula. But when we seek God first, the Holy Spirit unfolds the map, showing us where and how to walk!

Join me this week as we discover why wisdom is the critical factor in faith —and how God wants to show you the exact path to activate faith in your heart and bring His promises to life!
