Key Verse:

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”

— James 1:5

Rooted Truth:

God does not merely call us to make decisions—He invites us to walk daily in His wisdom.

Faith Story:

As life unfolds, we are faced with countless decisions—some large and obvious, others small and subtle. Often, it is not a lack of information that troubles us, but a lack of wisdom.

-Knowledge tells us what we can do.

-Wisdom teaches us what we should do.

James reminds us that God is not reluctant to guide His children. He does not ration wisdom or withhold direction as punishment. He gives generously, freely, and without shame to those who ask.

Walking in God’s wisdom means recognizing our dependence. It is a confession that says, “Lord, I do not see clearly on my own.” And God delights in that humility.

God’s wisdom is not hurried. It is not driven by fear. It is not pressured by comparison. It is steady, discerning, and rooted in truth.

Wisdom often comes as quiet clarity rather than dramatic revelation. Sometimes it confirms a step. Sometimes it restrains us. Sometimes it redirects us altogether.

But God’s wisdom always leads us closer to Him.

In a season where we are learning daily faithfulness, wisdom becomes the companion that helps us walk steadily—avoiding unnecessary pitfalls and choosing paths that honor God.

When we ask for wisdom, we are not asking for control over outcomes. We are asking for hearts aligned with God’s will.

And God promises: when we ask, He answers.

Scripture for Deeper Roots:

Proverbs 2:6 – “For the LORD giveth wisdom…”

Psalm 111:10 – “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom…”

Colossians 1:9–10 – “…that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom…”

Daily Practice:

Before making a decision today—large or small—pause and ask God for wisdom.

Pray:

“Lord, guide my thoughts and steps according to Your will.”

Daily Prayer:

Wise and gracious God, thank You that You invite me to ask for wisdom. Teach me to listen for Your guidance and to walk humbly before You. Align my decisions with Your truth and lead me in paths that honor You.

Amen.

Deep Reflection:

• Where do you currently need God’s wisdom most?

• How does humility open the door to wise living?

• What might change if you invited God into every decision today?
