Day 1: Spiritual Intelligence

Spiritual intelligence begins with recognizing that God is the ultimate source of wisdom. When we fear the Lord—not in a sense of terror, but with deep reverence and awe—we align ourselves with divine truth. This alignment grants us clarity in decision-making, peace in uncertainty, and strength in adversity. Many of life’s struggles stem from relying on our own understanding rather than seeking divine insight. However, Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to "trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight."

When we develop spiritual intelligence, we cultivate discernment, which helps us navigate complex situations with godly wisdom. This type of intelligence isn’t just about knowing the right verses or attending church regularly—it’s about applying God’s truth in our everyday lives. It means seeking His presence before making major decisions, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide our thoughts, and being rooted in His Word.

Prayer:
Heavenly Father, grant me a heart that reveres You above all else. Help me to seek Your wisdom in all I do, trusting that You will direct my path. Teach me to discern Your voice, walk in Your truth, and apply Your Word in every situation. In Jesus' name, Amen.
