“Magnificent Wisdom” for the Mundane

We tend to delegate God’s instructions and wisdom for spiritual areas of our lives. Thankfully, God doesn’t make that distinction. In Isaiah 28:26 we read, “God instructs him and teaches him the right way.” And then in the 29th verse it goes on to declare… “All this comes from the Lord Almighty, wonderful in counsel […]
