On yesterday, I saw a well-known Christian influencer post this: “I’ll pay $100k to be in the room with #JayZ for 1 day. I have so many questions. Congrats #JayZ #BlackExcellance👊🏽”

My immediate response was, “Why as Christians should we desire to have a conversation with a non-believer about advice or get their wisdom?” 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤔

Not only in the body of Christ but also in the black community, some of us don’t believe that what Jesus has to offer us is sufficient! Why should I desire to seek advice from a non-believer when I serve a God who says He will give me wisdom if I ask Him (see James 1:5). 

Matthew 6:19-21 reminds us, “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” The reality is we don’t trust God! We have a love for this world. When the rubber meets the road, we yearn for what the world has to offer us.

Let’s pray: Lord, have mercy on us! Capture our desires and change them to your desires. This world has nothing to offer us. What you have for us is enough! Lord, guide us to seek Your Wisdom. You are the one who allows us to get wealth. You are our provider. Thank you for this day. Allow us to search ourselves. In Jesus’ name. Amen. #godswisdom #jesusisenough #desires #hiswill
