Meaning
This verse reminds us that God is in charge of all things. He sets the times and leaders in place. When we think of wisdom, we often imagine knowledge or intelligence. But true wisdom goes deeper. It’s about knowing how to apply that knowledge in our lives. God gives wisdom to those who are willing to listen and learn. This means we should not just seek information but also seek understanding.
When we seek God, He opens our eyes to the truth. It’s like turning on a light in a dark room. Suddenly, we can see things clearly. We start to understand what really matters and how to navigate life’s challenges. So, whether you are facing a big decision or just trying to get through the day, remember that wisdom is available to you through God.
Live It
- Spend a few minutes today asking God for wisdom about a decision you need to make.
- Write down one thing you learned from a recent challenge. Think about how it can help you in the future.
- This week, share a piece of advice you learned with a friend who might need it.
Reflect & Pray
Reflect: What areas in my life do I need more wisdom? Am I open to learning from God?
Pray: God, thank You for being the source of all wisdom. Help me to seek You in my decisions. Give me understanding in my daily life.
