A settled life is built by wisdom rightly applied. This plan reveals how God’s wisdom guides decisions, relationships, and character for stability and lasting progress. Through simple biblical lessons, you will learn to live with foresight, make sound choices, value purpose, embrace right associations, and apply creativity in daily life.

For all the victory and triumph in the book of Joshua, Judges paints a far more somber picture. The repetition, "Everyone did what was right in their own eyes" (Judges 17:6, 21:25) describes this dark period of Israel's history succinctly. Yet even in the midst of their rebellion, God was faithful to fulfill his covenantal promises to his people.

The call to serve and work with God is for all Christians. When it comes to our work with the Master, it must be done as unto the Lord and not unto man, with integrity of heart and skillfulness of hands. In this devotional, you will learn the qualifications required to work with God effectively in a way that pleases Him.
