“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding” Proverbs 4:7, NKJV.
“Discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you” Proverbs 2:11, NKJV.
“Good understanding wins favor, but the way of the transgressor is hard [like the barren, dry soil or the impassable swamp]” Proverbs 13:15, Amplified.
I’ve done some foolish things in my life. One time, to celebrate our one year anniversary, my husband and I took all of our savings and paid to stay at an island resort that cost 1,000 US dollars per night. We were so broke while at the resort that we didn’t have enough money to eat. We couldn’t enjoy any of the amenities. All we could do was observe the view…of other people enjoying themselves. I can’t count how many foolish decisions I’ve made. So when God took someone like me and made me wise, it was a miracle!
The Bible says, God’s Word makes wise the simple. He gives understanding and common sense to those who have none so we can live the life He destined for us to live. When we find ourselves making one foolish decision after another, this is when we say to ourselves, “Girl, you need understanding!”
Understanding can be found in three distinct places: In God’s Word, in our personal life experiences and in the experiences of others.
I challenge you today: “Open your Bible to Psalms 19:7 and say this out loud: Father, I thank you for your Word. Your Word is able to make me wise. Your Word is able to convert my soul and transform my life. Your Word enlightens my darkness and helps me to see things right. You said understanding will keep me, and Lord, I want to be kept. I want to be wise. I ask that you give me wisdom, knowledge and understanding. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Lord give me wisdom, knowledge, & understanding❤🙏.
I too have made monumentous foolish careless and just plain stupid decisions. For many years of my life, I’d repeat the same unwise behavior. But then I didn’t know the word of God! I didn’t have a personal relationship with my Father. When we came together in love and I realized I was his righteousness in Christ… I learned how to pray, I began studying his word and I learned how to ask for his wisdom. I’m a long way from that old person now, and still growing in grace, understanding and wisdom. Thank you for this devotional!!
God bless you Wiladene our Lord is good thank you for your testimony
This is right on time for me thank you an God bless
Oh God and the name of Jesus please give me wisdom and the name of Jesus and knowledge and understand your truth and my life walk with me give me the right understanding and wisdom and my LIFE and the name of Jesus Amen
Praise Report: Thank you God for listening to my Sisters who have been praying for my family and I. My husband was released yesterday from a 16 day hospital stay. On the eviction the Judge called and said he dismissed the case and we need to file in district court to basically get to removed from our home, so buys us time. Then I got a call from a reality company that I had been inquiring with. They have meetings and my name and situation kept coming up and they want to do a contract to help us and help us sell our rental. So God has been working hard for us. There is still lots of work to be done up ahead but we are seeing how He is bringing peace and happiness back into our lives. He will be glorified every step of the way. Thank you Ladies, please continue to pray for us.🌼

I need prayers for making wise decisions for me and my husband. He loves to gamble and I have found myself gambling with him. God has put on my heart to be an example to my husband. When I say I ” I don’t think we should go to the casino” he gets upset and says well I’ll just fire up my smoker and drink beer. Which he had a big problem with before we married. I have recently opened a salon and he’s been paying all the bills. Please pray for us. We have a wonderful marriage and he’s a wonderful man, I love him very much. I need understanding and financial blessings or I’ll lose my salon. Thank you
Lord you are good, and your ways are always right. Please help me to make decisions from your word and your heart. Bless all my sister’s I pray. I love you Lord 💜
