(<a href=\"https:\/\/rw360.org\/\" title=\"https:\/\/rw360.org\/\">www.rw360.org<\/a>) As I have been going through that material the last couple days, I want to just spend some time looking for these concepts in my reading. So, while I have enjoyed doing devotionals just about whatever the Lord brings to mind from my reading, for the next little while, I want to be focused on the principles of Relational Wisdom displayed in the passages I read. So, from Ken Sande\u2019s material, here is what I am going to be looking for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to the acrostic \u201cJOY\u201d which we all learned in Sunday School from that kids song, \u201cJesus first, yourself last, and others in between. Ken Sande uses the acrostic \u201cSOG\u201d (Self, Others, God). He challenges us to consider these 3 relationships to be relationally wise in all situations\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Self-Aware: How am I feeling and acting? Ps. 42:5-6 \u2022 What am I feeling? Why? \u2022 What do I feel like doing? What are the likely consequences? \u2022 What can I do instead<\/li><li>Other-Aware: How are others feeling and how am I affecting them? 1 Pet. 3:8 \u2022 What do others seem to feel? Need? Want? Fear? \u2022 How am I impacting others? \u2022 Is this really the best time to talk, counsel or correct? \u2022 How can I serve, love or forgive others?<\/li><li>God-Aware: Where is God leading me? Prov. 3:5-8 * \u2022 Who is God? What is he like? What is he doing? \u2022 Am I acting in faith or unbelief? \u2022 Do I trust in him or in myself? \u2022 What difference does the gospel make? \u2022 How can I pray? What Scriptures can guide me? \u2022 How can I show that I love, trust and obey God above all things?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>As I read, I am going to be looking for these 3 things. How are the characters self-aware? How are they other-aware? What does the passage say about God that helps us in relating to one another?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I continue to pray and ask the Lord for how to do better at shepherding our new missionaries, the Lord has really put Ken Sande\u2019s material \u201cRelational Wisdom\u201d on my heart.
