Show Notes

Let’s recognize our desperate need for God’s wisdom. Let’s ask Him for wisdom and believe His promise that He will provide.


Main Points:

1. We can live self-sufficient lives that leave God out of our decision making. This is a critical mistake. God wants to be right in the middle of our choices and decision. He wants to lead, guide, and direct our steps. He has given us His Word, the Bible to be a daily resource that provides His wisdom.


2. Let’s see the value of Godly wisdom. The world, our culture, and our society offers its version of wisdom that most often conflicts with God’s wisdom. Let’s begin to seek God’s wisdom. Let’s begin to value God’s point of view over our own.


3. It would be foolish for us to ignore and reject the wisdom God would give us. But as we know, this often happens to people. Intentionally, and often unintentionally, we pay no attention to God’s wisdom and act as if we know what we are doing.



Today’s Scripture Verses:

James 1:5 - “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you.”


Proverbs 8:11 – “for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.”


Proverbs 2:1-6 – “If you accept My words and store up My commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.  For the Lord gives wisdom.”
