James 1:5 (NIV) “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

This year, with God’s help and the power of the Holy Spirit, I declare: I will SEEK WISDOM. My independence, my isolation, and even the wrong friends are ENEMIES of my growth. I refuse to do life apart from GODLY COMMUNITY.

If you want wise DECISIONS, you need wise VOICES.

Proverbs 13:20 Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.

1. Wisdom GROWS in PROXIMITY.

Wisdom isn’t just TAUGHT—it’s CAUGHT.

ISOLATION blocks ILLUMINATION.

Genesis 2:18 The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’

2. Wise people are GODLY PEOPLE.

A godly person KNOWS God’s Word and LIVES God’s Word.

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.

Feelings are REAL, but feelings are not RELIABLE.

Proverbs 15:22 Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.

3. Wrong community DESTROYS; right community STRENGTHENS.

1 Corinthians 15:33 Do not be misled: ‘Bad company corrupts good character.’

You can LOVE people without letting them LEAD you.

Your circle is either FEEDING your faith or STARVING your future.

Life starts UNRAVELING the moment I PULL AWAY from godly

community.

Hebrews 10:24–25   And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

ROWS are great for worship. CIRCLES are where you grow.

You are ONE godly community away from WISDOM landing in your life.
