In the words of wisdom from my late brother-in-law, Ray Girard, the visionary behind “The Story of Jesus” Tahoe, there lies a profound understanding of faith and divinity. Ray would often say, “God gave you that,” whenever he saw me with something new. It took me years to truly comprehend the depth of his words.
The Divine Wisdom
The Bible states:
“God is the one who gives you wisdom” ~ Proverbs 2:6
“By wisdom a house is built” ~ Proverbs 24:3
“God builds everything” ~ Hebrews 3:4
These verses suggest that God is the source of all creation. He bestows upon us the wisdom, thoughts, and ideas that enable us to accomplish what we have. If we have anything, it is because “God gave you that,” as Ray would say.
The Gift of Wisdom
The Bible also teaches us that God gives the gift of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. This divine gift allows us to achieve anything we desire when we pray. The Bible says, “Just Pray, Believe & Receive” ~ Mark 11:24 and “…every perfect ‘gift’ is from above, coming down from the Father…” ~ James 1:17.
The Word of God
When reading the Bible, remember that the Word is God. It is God speaking to you. You may not understand everything you read at the time, but the Holy Spirit will bring to remembrance what God has said in His Word when the time is right. This revelation will bring a better understanding to you, which is “wisdom” gained from above.
The Holy Spirit
The Scripture concludes with, “…the Holy Spirit…will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” John 14:22-26. This verse reassures us that the Holy Spirit will guide us and help us remember the teachings of God.
Conclusion
In conclusion, all we need is “Faith Beyond Infinity”. This faith is a testament to the divine wisdom that God bestows upon us, guiding us through our lives and helping us achieve our desires. Remember, if you have anything, “God gave you that”. Embrace this wisdom, and let your faith be infinite.
