1. Have you ever found yourself in a place that you never would have expected? What did it look like and how did your circumstances change?
2. Do you have a Solomon (wise person) in your life that you go to when you need to make tough choices?
3. Who is your Godly counsel in your life? How have they supported you with tough decisions?
4. What has happened when those you have gone to for Godly counsel have disagreed with one another?
5. What are some experiences you have had where you have seen God’s guardrails through God’s Word, Godly counsel, peace, prayer, or wisdom?
6. Have you had an experience that you feel was “wisdom from above”? What did it look like?

PRAYER: Lord, thank you for helping me to know Your will through wise, Godly people that are in my life. Please help me to recognize and accept the wisdom that you are affording me through them and through wisdom that you give to me, too. Thank you for communicating Your will with me so that I can enjoy a deep peace that surpasses understanding and be certain of living in Your will.
