THE MAIN THEME: WHEN DO I GET THERE?

TITLE: CONNECTING THE DOTS

The quote for today’s devotional is: 

Wisdom is like a baobab tree; no one individual can embrace it.

– Akan and Ewe

Devotional:
Connecting the dots on life’s journey is a journey towards wisdom and understanding. The baobab tree, known for its immense size and longevity, symbolizes the vastness and complexity of wisdom. Just as no single person can fully embrace the baobab tree in all its grandeur, no one individual can possess complete wisdom on their own. Instead, wisdom is cultivated through a collective journey, shaped by shared experiences, insights, and perspectives.

In our lives, we often encounter challenges, questions, and uncertainties that prompt us to seek wisdom. It is through engaging with others—listening to their stories, learning from their experiences, and sharing our own—that we begin to connect the dots. Each conversation, each shared moment of understanding, adds another branch to our understanding of life.

When we acknowledge that wisdom is a communal asset, we become more open to learning from those around us. We recognize that everyone we meet has a unique perspective shaped by their experiences, and these contributions enrich our own understanding. 

Connecting the dots involves more than just recognizing patterns in our own lives; it also means understanding how our experiences intersect with those of others. This will help us gain a fuller understanding of our circumstances, motivations, and potential paths forward.               . 

Here are a few reflective questions:

• How have my interactions with others shaped my understanding of wisdom?
• In what ways can I contribute to the wisdom of my community by sharing my experiences?
• How can I cultivate a mindset that values the wisdom of others in my journey?

Let Us Pray:

Lord, guide me as I navigate my journey, help me to see the bigger picture and to embrace the idea that I am never alone in my struggles or triumphs. May I find strength in collaboration and joy in the shared wisdom of those around me.

Please say these words of affirmation. Say them, mean them, own them and live them:

• God knows when I will get there.
• I embrace the beauty of community and the insights it brings.
• I listen with an open heart, and value the perspectives of those around me.
• I contribute my unique experiences to the collective wisdom of my community.

Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
