Reflection on Verse for Today

The beauty of wisdom is that it is generously available to all who earnestly seek it. Even James 1:5 assures us that if we lack wisdom, we should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to each one.

As believers, we must passionately pursue, cherish, and apply godly wisdom in our lives so that we will be assured of the protection and guidance that will inherently follow. It’s a loving invitation to walk closely with God and to seek His ways above our own.

My Prayer

Father, it is my prayer that I may not only seek but truly love Your wisdom and to embrace it with a heartfelt and sincere commitment. Teach me not just hear Your word but apply it and to allow Your wisdom to take root deeply within me and bear fruit in every area of my life.
 
Father, I ask that in Your loving wisdom, You will guide my steps, guard my heart, and empower my actions to honor You. I pray in Jesus name, Amen.
