Seeking Guidance

Wisdom is the God-given ability to know what to do, how to do it, and when it needs to be done. In this sense, wisdom is the practical application of biblical principles in our everyday lives. It is the capacity to live in such a way that we reign in life even in the smallest choices and circumstances. For that to happen, we need to let go of our own wisdom, which is so often based on man made philosophies and mindsets, and instead come humbly before our Heavenly Father and pray, “Father I need your wisdom on this matter. Teach me what to do, how to do it, and when it needs to be done.” We have a Father who loves to help. He is just waiting to be asked. We need God’s glorious wisdom. When we approach Him, He tells us what we need to do, and helps us understand His ways. This guidance leads us to do the right thing, at the right time. — James 1:5
