For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up success for the upright; He is a shield for those who live with integrity so that he may guard the paths of justice and protect the way of his faithful followers. - Proverbs 2:6-8 CSB
We all need God's wisdom to do well in life and God promises to give it to whoever sincerely ask him for it. We receive God's wisdom primarily from his Word and also from the inner voice of his Holy Spirit who dwells inside those who believe in Jesus Christ. God will also give us his wisdom by using the counsel of other people who walk closely with him. To receive wisdom from God we first need to draw close to him and ask for it. Then, we must act on God's wisdom in order to benefit from it. There's no one better who can guide you through life than God because no one loves you more than he does.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I need your wisdom to do well with the life you have given to me. Give me knowledge, understanding, and direction from your Word. I will listen carefully for the voice of your Holy Spirit today and follow his leading. In the name of Jesus, amen.
