Rebuild To Dig Again!
In our journey of faith, Paul reminds us that we must run with purpose and discipline, striving for the eternal prize that awaits us. As we wait on God, He strengthens us, enabling us to continue without growing weary. True wisdom and understanding begin with reverence and obedience to God, for all wisdom and knowledge are found in Christ, offering the riches of understanding and comfort. While wealth may offer temporary defense, wisdom gives life to those who possess it. In this season, we are called to rebuild and dig again, restoring what was lost and trusting God to bring new growth. Let us use the wisdom we receive to build others up, bring grace to all who hear, and press on with renewed strength and purpose.
