Wisdom in a World on Fire

3 Quick Questions to Transform Your Day with a Christian Worldview

The world feels like it’s burning—division, blame, anger, and uncertainty flood the headlines and feeds daily. It’s easy to get caught up in frustration, fear, or just tune it all out. My tendency is to get desensitized to the ignorant and arrogant comments, but going numb and tapping out isn’t an option. As Christians, we’re called to be and do something different.

Before jumping into your day, take a moment to reflect on these three quick but powerful questions. They’ll help you stay grounded in faith and respond with wisdom.

1. How should I respond to injustice while trusting in God's ultimate justice?

It’s frustrating to see so much brokenness in the world. Whether it’s corruption, oppression, or just everyday unfairness, the natural response is anger. But while God calls us to act justly, He also reminds us that ultimate justice is in His hands. Seeing people celebrate public vengeance is disheartening, but I’m only responsible for myself. How does God want me to respond?

• Micah 6:8 – "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."

• Romans 12:19 – "Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord."

• Psalm 37:7-9 – "Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes."

2. How can I show Christ’s love and truth in a divided world?

Everyone seems to be arguing about something. Politics, culture, religion—lines are drawn, and people quickly take sides. But Jesus calls us to be different: to speak truth boldly and with love. How can you be a voice of grace in today’s conversations?

• John 1:14 – "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

• Colossians 4:6 – "Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."

• Matthew 5:9 – "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."

3. In what ways can I live out the hope of the Gospel in a world that feels hopeless?

It’s easy to feel drained by the constant bad news. But as followers of Christ, we’re called to be people of hope. Not just in words but in how we live. How can you reflect the peace, joy, and confidence of knowing Jesus?

• 1 Peter 3:15 – "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect."

• Matthew 5:14-16 – "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden... Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."

• Romans 15:13 – "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."
