Proverbs Ch 3:5-6

5Trust GOD from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on
your own. 6Listen for GOD's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's
the one who will keep you on track”.
-Msg

“5Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths”. -NKJ

One of those “stand-out” scriptures - Friends of mine used this as the cornerstone scripture for their Wedding. My Thoughts:

1) Rely on God, even more than wisdom itself. (Maxwell). Naturally we seem to rely on our own capabilities, our own comprehension of the things that are happening around us.

2) Don’t leave him out of the equation when trying to make sense of things.Don’t forget God in the pursuit of knowledge. That’s like trying to understand the composition of water – and leaving the 'O' out of 'H2O'. God is the fundamental variable in every equation.

3) There is always a ‘faith’ gap between what we know and what we have to believe. It’s called faith.

There are no formulaic answers to many of life’s problems. I get paid to solve business problems and implement solutions. And I agree wholeheartedly with Jack Welch as he states – “there are rarely black and white answers. More often than not, business is smell, fell and touch as much as or more than numbers. If we wait for the perfect answer, the world will pass us by”. (“Jack” pp 18).

Use wisdom as a foundation for decision making. Leverage Wisdom but seek God’s small voice and be confident that as the Message states ― he will keep you on track.

"Some people think only intellect counts: knowing how to solve problems, knowing
how to get by, knowing how to identify an advantage and seize it. But the functions of intellect are insufficient without courage, love, friendship, compassion and empathy".
