"I'm not smart or savvy enough for business; I should stick to a regular job."
How it sounds in your head: Other entrepreneurs seem to know things I don't. I missed obvious mistakes. Maybe I'm just not cut out for this. I should stick to what I'm good at—being an employee—and stop trying to be something I'm not.
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
-- James 1:5Enemy: Uses failure to abort identity and lock into lesser calling.
She compares her behind-the-scenes to everyone's highlight reel. Every mistake feels like proof she's not smart enough.
Solomon felt unqualified and asked God for wisdom. God gave him wisdom AND riches and honor—everything he didn't ask for—because his humility to ask for help qualified him for all of it.
I REFUSE the lie that I'm not smart enough. IT IS WRITTEN: If I lack wisdom, I ask God who gives liberally without reproach, and it WILL be given. My need for wisdom doesn't disqualify me—it positions me to receive. IT IS WRITTEN: God chose the foolish things to shame the wise, so my lack of 'savvy' makes me perfect for Him to show off through. Solomon asked for wisdom and got wealth added. I decree James 1:5 liberal wisdom, 1 Corinthians 1:27 foolish-to-wise reversal, and Solomon's wisdom-plus-wealth package. The BARAK blessing means I am the head and not the tail, and my next business will carry divine strategy that leaves 'smart' people confused. I don't need to be the smartest—I need to be connected to the All-Knowing One.
The Father isn't looking for the savviest entrepreneur. He's looking for the humble one who will ask Him for wisdom, because those are the ones He can trust with wealth that won't make them proud but make Him famous.
