Proverbs: The Ways of the Wise // Week 4 // Pastor Todd Iannetta

Wisdom isn’t just a decision you make; it’s a posture you take.

Kneeling brings your body into alignment with the truth of your heart.

Kneeling is a physical way of saying…
“God, you are greater than me.”
“God, you rule my life.”
“God, I need you.”
“God, I give my heart.”

Wisdom isn’t just a decision you make; it’s a posture you take.

If your posture is prideful, you will always lack wisdom, no matter how right you are.

Pride magnifies me. Humility magnifies God.

Pride climbs, but wisdom kneels.

Pride says: ‘I’ve got this.’
Wisdom says: ‘God’s got this.’

Pride says: ‘I don’t need help.’
Wisdom says: ‘I need His help every day.’

Pride says: ‘I know best.’
Wisdom says: ‘God knows best.’

Pride says: “I can save myself.”
Wisdom says: “Only Jesus saves.”

Pride says: “I’m strong enough.”
Wisdom says: “His grace is enough for me.”

Pride says: “I know what’s best.”
Wisdom say: “Jesus is my wisdom and my way.”

Pride says: “This life is all about me.”
Wisdom says: “My life belongs to Jesus.”

Pride says: ‘Don’t tell me I’m wrong.’
Wisdom says: ‘Lord, teach me, correct me, lead me.'

Wisdom is not found in who you know, but who you bow down to.

Prayer of Wisdom
Lord, we confess our pride and bow before Jesus, the wisdom of God. Teach us to walk in humility, trust Your way above our own, and live each day with the posture of wisdom.
