Bible Verse for June 8th.

Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight and ask for understanding.

Proverbs 2:2-3
NLT Bible

We all need wisdom to help us navigate through life. As children of God, we need the wisdom that comes from Him alone. Many people are filled with knowledge but lack the wisdom to apply it to situations in their lives. Wisdom tells us when to speak, when to refrain from speaking, when to act or when to do nothing and helps us circumvent life's problems. We have to seek and pursue wisdom and all it takes is being in a relationship with God and asking Him to fill us with His divine wisdom and understanding.

Wisdom allows us to differentiate from right and wrong and keeps us from veering off course. However, we cannot become wise through our own efforts. God is the source of all wisdom and we have to come to Him daily and cry out for insight and understanding. True wisdom causes us to see things God's way and gives us the guidance, self control and patience to respond in a wise and godly manner. We should also respect, appreciate and heed the counsel of wise and godly people and many of us can attest to the consequences of ignoring wise and well meaning advice. Thankfully, we don't have to deal with problems on our own strength as God gives us the wisdom and understanding we need through His Word and our daily fellowship with Him.

Thank you Lord for Your wisdom. I need Your insight and understanding to guide me on the right path, to help me make right decisions and live a pure and holy life. Help me to apply the wisdom from Your Word to situations I face. I love you, Jesus. Amen!

Be Blessed!
