Summary
The world teaches us to live externally, being constantly discouraged by everything we are not. But the wisdom that governs our lives in Christ comes from above. This internal reality of Jesus turns our everyday circumstances into endless opportunities to cross over from the ways of the world into the ways of the Kingdom. Join us for today’s episode as we learn how wisdom in the Kingdom acts as a divine accelerant to our development in God.
Key Scripture:
+ Colossians 3:2. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Brilliant Perspectives podcast. I'm your host Jalen Bowden and we are so |
| 0:08.0 | glad that you're tuning in with us today. We hope you've been enjoying this month's theme on |
| 0:13.3 | wisdom and if you're looking for even more free content in between our weekly episodes, |
| 0:18.3 | you can always follow along with Graham Cook on our social media platforms for your daily dose of |
| 0:23.7 | brilliant thoughts. In today's episode we are learning how kingdom wisdom accelerates our |
| 0:30.4 | development with God and you know the beautiful thing is that he's constantly faithful to his primary |
| 0:37.3 | purpose and that purpose is to make us in his image and in his likeness just as he said in the |
| 0:44.7 | beginning. That means we were created to think the way that God thinks. We were created to see |
| 0:52.0 | ourselves and the world around us as he sees it. This is why he loves the learning process with us |
| 1:00.0 | because our transformation into the image of God is his passion and his absolute delight. |
| 1:06.8 | When we allow the wisdom of God to govern our lives, then no matter the circumstances, |
| 1:12.4 | we learn to set our minds on things above. Let's jump right in as Graham explains how wisdom seeks |
| 1:20.1 | a higher way. The world around us lives externally. They live in their circumstances. They live |
| 1:28.8 | their problems. They become discouraged about everything they're not. We don't live that way. |
| 1:35.1 | We live in Christ. So we have an internal reality of Jesus in us and a powerful expectation |
| 1:44.9 | of his presence to us. Every day we fully expect to see something wonderful, |
| 1:52.0 | not just in our circumstances but in us. We expect to see Christ in us because he's our expectation |
| 1:59.6 | of glory. We're not created now in Christ to be subject to the world around us. We believe us |
| 2:09.1 | and our power is from an entirely different kingdom. And the wisdom that governs our life |
| 2:16.7 | doesn't come from earth. It's the wisdom from above not of this world. As believers in Christ, |
| 2:25.9 | it's essential to remember that the world has nothing to offer us in the ways of wisdom regarding |
| 2:33.6 | the kingdom. Colossians 3.2, set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. |
