Ask for Wisdom

Wisdom & Discernment

Scripture
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated.
James 3:17 (KJV)

Reflection

Wisdom begins with reverence. James 3:17 establishes it: "But the wisdom that is from above…" To fear the Lord is to take Him seriously — His goodness, His holiness, His authority, His love. From that posture, wisdom grows. Today, before you make decisions or react to circumstances, pause and consider the Lord. A short prayer for wisdom can change the shape of an entire day. He gives generously to those who ask.

Prayer

God of all wisdom, quiet my mind enough to hear You. Let Your Word shape my decisions today. Amen.
