More voices compete for kids\u2019 attention than ever before. So how can we help them learn to decipher the wisdom of heaven from the counterfeit wisdom of earth? By opening the pages of Scripture, God\u2019s wisdom is at our fingertips! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book of Proverbs opens a window to His divine wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this series, the kids you lead will gaze through that window with you, and the wisdom of God will cut through the noise. Through the ancient words, God will show kids how to walk in His ways now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>God is the source of wisdom, and He isn\u2019t stingy with it. He delights in giving wisdom to those who seek Him.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Wise Up Series Overview Video\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/866507890?h=935fd94afb&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Series Invitation <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes I feel exhausted after scrolling through my phone. Do you ever feel that way? The world is a swirling tempest of competing values, ideas, and suggestions. So many images. So many messages. All shouting, \u201cLook at me! Look at me!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the way, you might encounter all manner of slick characters. Mr. Pride with his pomp and bluster. Ms. Greed with her measuring stick. Mr. Smooth-talker. Ms. Glossy-finish. \u201cLook at me! Look at me!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How can we find the right path? How can we distinguish true wisdom from the many counterfeits, parodies, and empty promises?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTake hold of my words with all your heart. Keep my commands, and you will live. Get wisdom, and get understanding. Don\u2019t forget my words or turn away from them\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Proverbs%204:4b-5&amp;src=tools&amp;version=NIRV\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Proverbs 4:4b\u20135<\/a>). God doesn\u2019t leave us without an anchor in the storm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The anchor is His Word. God is the source of wisdom, and He isn\u2019t stingy with it. He delights in giving wisdom to those who seek Him. He delights in guiding our paths when we listen to Him.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This series is an opportunity to seek wisdom with your whole heart and to point kids to the true source of wisdom, goodness, beauty, and strength. Wisdom is out there, standing tall enough to be found amongst the counterfeits. Are you ready to wise up?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<div data-elementor-type=\"section\" data-elementor-id=\"6836\" class=\"elementor elementor-6836\" data-elementor-post-type=\"elementor_library\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-44db1a4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"44db1a4\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3fd2177\" data-id=\"3fd2177\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-44f2d06 elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"44f2d06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-xl\" href=\"https:\/\/app.wonderink.org\/?page=RegisterChurch&#038;_gl=1*1vf7quv*_gcl_au*MTg0ODQ5OTU5Ny4xNjg5Njk5NjI3*_ga*ODkwNTM3NjE0LjE2ODk2OTk2Mjg.*_ga_D2HKCMMJ9V*MTY5Njk2NTE2My41Ni4xLjE2OTY5NjUxODMuMC4wLjA.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Try for Free<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9dfdb8d elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9dfdb8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/app.wonderink.org\/?page=RegisterChurch&#038;_gl=1*1vf7quv*_gcl_au*MTg0ODQ5OTU5Ny4xNjg5Njk5NjI3*_ga*ODkwNTM3NjE0LjE2ODk2OTk2Mjg.*_ga_D2HKCMMJ9V*MTY5Njk2NTE2My41Ni4xLjE2OTY5NjUxODMuMC4wLjA.\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img data-opt-id=1573953086  data-opt-src=\"https:\/\/mlzai04amy7e.i.optimole.com\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:80\/f:best\/https:\/\/wonderink.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Wonder-Ink-logo.png\"   decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"311\" src=\"data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20100%%20100%%22%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%%22%20height%3D%22100%%22%20fill%3D%22transparent%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-6197\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0955910 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0955910\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: small;\">Wonder Ink\u2019s 3-year, 52-week children\u2019s ministry curriculum offers kids space to fully find their place in God\u2019s Big Story.
