It really is crazy that the Lord would grant any of us wisdom.
He has granted us conviction of sin, awareness of our own depravity, desperation for a savior, and knowledge of His Son and the relationship He desires with us.
Granting wisdom to His children is a little superfluous, don't cha think?
Well, I'm grateful that He does. It allows me to be edified and refined through His work in other people.
Even people I've never met:

"...since the gospel is the saving work of Jesus, it isn't something we can do, but it is something we must announce."
John Piper, via Desiring God
"Legalists trudge with their Bibles on the path toward justification. Saints sit down in the shade of the Cross and plead for the blood-bought pleasures."
Tim Henderson, via The Gospel Coalition
"...the chief responsibility of our lives is to love God and others as we love ourselves. But we don't. If we're honest, it's not even close. We don't love anyone with the vigor and thoroughness that we love ourselves."
4. Trusting God Is Not EasyRay Ortlund, via The Gospel Coalition
"There is something about coming to the end of ourselves and our own strength and wisdom -- that's when our hearts finally crack open, and the love of God pours in."
5. Obeying God Comes After Grace, Says Tim Keller
Lillion Kwon
"Christians who obey God and then expect grace and blessings have got it all wrong."
When was the last time an article made you repent?
