Day 201 - Prayer Brings Wisdom

“If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” - James 1:5 NLT

“Wisdom” is “the quality of having experience, knowledge, and good judgment.” Wisdom is the ability to understand life from God’s perspective.

When Solomon asked God for wisdom in 1 Kings 3:8-13, the Bible tells us that this prayer unlocked the “riches of the world.” After Solomon asked, God gave, and Solomon had to believe and receive the wisdom.

Wisdom has nothing to do with education and everything to do with God’s anointing to see what is right and wrong and what to do about it. He wants us to use this gift when He gives it to us. The nature of wisdom is being able to discern how to walk in the will of God.
