Growing in Wisdom

Integration & Growth

Scripture

James 1:5

“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”

Devotion

September brings situations that require wisdom. Relationships get complex. Decisions get complicated. Scripture teaches that you can ask God for wisdom and He gives generously. You do not have to figure it all out alone. You do not have to pretend to know. Ask. Be honest about what you don't understand. God supplies wisdom to those who ask.

Today’s Step

What situation in September requires wisdom you do not yet have? Can you ask God? Can you seek counsel from wise people?

Prayer

God, help me to ask for wisdom when I lack it. Help me to not pretend to know. Help me to be open to learning. Help wisdom to grow in me.
