WISDOM

Heavenly Father, I am thankful that I am able to rely on Your wisdom. Lord, I am not wise -- but I can draw on Your wisdom to guide me through all circumstances. Help me to rely more on Your wisdom and Your strength. Amen.

If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

James 1:5-6

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.

Psalm 32:8

To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:26

"Come let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths."

Isaiah 2:3

We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true - even in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

1 John 5:20

Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it fully.

Proverbs 28:5

For God said "Let light shine out of darkness, made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

2 Corinthians 4:6

Then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

Proverbs 2:5-7

All the wisdom in the world and all human cleverness compared with the infinite wisdom of God is sheer and extreme ignorance.

John of the Cross

All the wisdom of the world is childish foolishness in comparison with the acknowledgment of Jesus Christ.

Martin Luther

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

James 3:17
