Wisdom in the WordSample

Wisdom is not meant to stay hidden in private study or quiet reflection—it’s meant to be lived. It’s how we walk through the world, how we make choices, and how we reveal the character of Christ in daily life.

To live wisely means to live intentionally. Time is precious, and wisdom teaches us to use every opportunity well. The wise do not drift through life aimlessly; they are watchful, discerning the will of God in a noisy and distracted world. Every decision, no matter how small, is shaped by a higher purpose.

Wisdom also transforms our speech. It makes our mouths fountains of righteousness—speaking what is true, uplifting, and just. A wise person isn’t quick to complain or criticize. Their words bring life and clarity, because they speak from a heart that is anchored in God’s truth.

Pursuing wisdom is not only rewarding—it is life-giving. It draws us closer to the heart of God and helps us love life rightly, with joy and peace. This pursuit leads us into the mystery of Christ, where the riches of understanding are found. In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

Heavenly wisdom is pure. It brings peace, displays gentleness, and is full of mercy. It is not boastful, harsh, or arrogant. It’s the kind of wisdom that changes the atmosphere around you—one step, one conversation, one faithful decision at a time.

Live it. Speak it. Walk it. Let wisdom shape your world.

Respond to God’s Word:

Look for one opportunity today to walk in wisdom publicly—at work, school, or in a conversation. Whether it's patience, integrity, or choosing silence over reaction, let your actions point others to Christ.

Prayer:
Lord, teach me to walk in wisdom—not just in my heart, but in how I live each day. Let my choices, my words, and my responses reflect Your purity, peace, and mercy. May Your wisdom guide my every step and bring glory to Your name. Amen.

Staying teachable in your life will help you grow in the Lord’s wisdom. I want to encourage you to continue to stay in the word of God. There's something that has helped grow in wisdom over time in the word of God as a family.
