Proverbs 2

Proverbs 2:6 (NLT)

"For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth comes knowledge and understanding."

I’ve learned over the years that wisdom doesn’t always come in big, dramatic moments. More often, it shows up quietly—after I’ve taken time to pray, to ask God what He thinks, and to truly listen.

There have been so many times when I didn’t know what to do—whether it was a family situation, a decision at work, or even just how to respond to someone when I had no idea what to say. And in those moments, I’ve stopped and said, sometimes out loud, “God, what would You have me do?”

I don’t always hear an answer right away. But then later—maybe during a conversation, or while reading something—it clicks. I realize, “That wasn’t just good advice—that was God’s wisdom.” And every time, it humbles me. I’m reminded that God really does want to guide us. He doesn’t leave us on our own to figure everything out. He wants to speak into our lives—and not in some confusing or complicated way, but with wisdom that meets us right where we are.

We don’t need perfect words. We just need a willing heart that says, “God, I need Your wisdom.” He promises to answer—and from my experience, He always does.

PRAYER

God, thank You for giving wisdom when I ask. Sometimes I don’t know what to do, and it’s easy to feel lost. But You remind me that I’m not alone. Help me listen for Your voice and trust the wisdom You give. Thank You for always being ready to guide me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
