September · Day 252 of 365
Listen and Learn
Wisdom & Discernment
Scripture
“Wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life.”
— Ecclesiastes 7:12 (KJV)
Reflection
Wisdom is not the same as intelligence. Ecclesiastes 7:12 reminds us, "Wisdom is a defence, and money is…" Wisdom is the right use of truth in real life. It listens before it speaks. It pauses before it reacts. It chooses long obedience over short relief. Today, ask the Lord to help you walk wisely in the very ordinary decisions of the day.
Prayer
Father, I ask for Your wisdom today. Help me to choose well, speak well, and walk humbly with You. Amen.
Thought for the Day
How can I listen better today — to God and to people?
