If you could switch lives with a famous person for a week, who would it be and why?
View all responses
With all the intention, effort and faith I have applied in just trying to become me, I cannot be distracted by switching lives with someone “famous”.
I can try to become more attuned or aligned with some aspect of their character. What makes them get up and after it each day regardless.
And to be honest, these individuals are most likely right around me, daily.
Down the block. Two pews down at church. Passing me at the grocery store. Taking a walk.
Cutting the grass.
Fame is fleeting. Mostly shallow. The quality of the moment. Seemingly subject to the will of the masses and the app you happen to be scrolling.
I will continue to work on just being the best version of myself.
With the help of those humble role models and teachers that surround me.
I don’t want to switch.
Because their influence is apparent, positive, lasting.
And loving.
Making them famous in my eyes.
*WISDOM FOR MARRIAGE*
Many people pray for a good marriage, but marriage does not work by prayer alone. Marriage works by wisdom.
Love brings you together, but wisdom keeps you together.
Here are 7 wisdom habits for marriage:
*1. Wisdom to put God in the middle.* A marriage without God is like a house without foundation. Pray together, study together. When God is in your marriage, peace will stay.
*2. Wisdom to speak with love.* Your mouth can build your marriage or break it. Don’t insult your spouse, even when you are angry. Speak the truth, but speak it in love. Your words are seeds.
*3. Wisdom to forgive quickly.* No perfect husband, no perfect wife. Offense will come. If you keep record of wrongs, your marriage will die. Forgive fast, just as God forgives you.
*4. Wisdom to respect your roles.* The husband must love and protect, the wife must honor and support. When everyone knows their role and does it with love, there will be no competition.
*5. Wisdom to close your ears to outsiders.* Don’t carry every problem in your marriage to friends and family. Some advice will destroy your home. Keep your private matters private, except for godly counsel.
*6. Wisdom to appreciate small things.* Don’t wait for big things before you say thank you. Thank him for providing, thank her for cooking, for caring. Appreciation makes love grow.
*7. Wisdom to be patient.* Marriage is not a sprint, it is a journey. People change and grow with time. Be patient with each other. Love is patient, love is kind.
Beloved, a good marriage is not found, it is built with wisdom daily.
*Prayer:* Father in the name of Jesus, give me wisdom for my marriage. Teach me to love, to forgive, and to build my home with Your Word. Let my marriage bring glory to You.
*WISDOM FOR BUSINESS*
Many people have business ideas, but without wisdom, business will fail. It is not only capital that builds business, it is wisdom.
Here are 7 wisdom habits for business:
*1. Wisdom to start small and grow.* Don’t wait till you have millions to start. Start with what you have where you are. Faithfulness in small things brings increase.
*2. Wisdom to know your customers.* Your business is not about you, it is about the people you serve. Listen to what they need, not what you want to sell. Solve their problem and they will pay you.
*3. Wisdom to be honest.* Proverbs 11:1 says a false balance is an abomination. Don’t cheat, don’t lie about your product. Honesty brings customers that stay for years, dishonesty brings quick money that disappears.
*4. Wisdom to separate business money from personal money.* This is where many businesses die. Don’t eat your capital. Keep your business money in one place, pay yourself a salary from it.
*5. Wisdom to keep learning.* Business changes every day. Learn new skills, read, watch how others do it better. What brought you here may not take you to the next level.
*6. Wisdom to manage people well.* Be kind but firm with your workers and customers. Don’t insult your staff, don’t look down on people. Treat people well and your business will grow.
*7. Wisdom to commit it to God.* Psalm 90:17 says establish the work of our hands. Pray over your business every morning. God is the one who gives power to make wealth.
Beloved, God wants your business to prosper, but you must do it with wisdom.
*Prayer:* Father in the name of Jesus, give me wisdom for my business. Teach my hands to make profit and my heart to manage it well. Let my business prosper and be a blessing to many.
*WISDOM FOR CHOOSING FRIENDS*
Show me your friends and I will show you your future. Your friends can lift you or bury you. That is why you need wisdom to choose friends.
Not everyone who laughs with you is your friend.
Here are 7 wisdom habits for choosing friends:
*1. Wisdom to look at their fruit.* Don’t choose friends by fine clothes or sweet talk. Look at their life, their character, their habits. A good tree brings forth good fruit.
*2. Wisdom to avoid friends who hate correction.* If someone cannot accept correction, they will lead you into trouble. Choose friends who can tell you the truth, even when it is bitter.
*3. Wisdom to avoid gossip friends.* If a friend brings gossip about others to you, they will carry your gossip to others. Stay away from a talkative and double-tongued person.
*4. Wisdom to choose friends who love God.* When you walk with people who fear God, you will not easily miss your way. Iron sharpens iron. Godly friends make you stronger.
*5. Wisdom to test loyalty in small things.* Before you trust someone with big secrets or big money, test them with small things. Faithful in little, faithful in much.
*6. Wisdom to avoid jealous friends.* A jealous friend will never celebrate you. They will be happy when you cry and sad when you succeed. That is not friendship, that is bondage.
*7. Wisdom to be the friend you are looking for.* If you want loyal friends, be loyal first. If you want kind friends, be kind first. You attract what you are.
Beloved, destiny needs the right people. One right friend can change your whole life.
*Prayer:* Father in the name of Jesus, give me wisdom to choose my friends. Connect me to the right people for my destiny and disconnect me from those who will destroy my future. Bring genuine friends into my life.
