The Path of the Wise

Wisdom & Discernment

Scripture
Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
Proverbs 19:20 (KJV)

Reflection

If you lack wisdom, ask. Proverbs 19:20 simply opens the door: "Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou…" God does not grudge His wisdom; He delights to give it. The asking heart is the receiving heart. Today, name the area where you feel out of your depth, and ask the Lord for clarity. He will guide, often more quietly than you expect.

Prayer

Lord, give me a discerning heart. Teach me Your ways and order my steps in truth. Amen.
