We Need Wisdom

Scripture Ecclesiastes 10:10 If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

Observation: How little I use wisdom. I go through every situation without weighing the consequences. I want to get things done quickly, but without thinking it through and I typically have to redo it. There is a difference between wisdom and knowledge. We can gain knowledge by studying or just by experiences, but using that knowledge properly takes wisdom.

Application: I need to search and use wisdom. I need to take situations to prayer and ask God to give me the wisdom I will need. I need to stop and meditate on what I’m about to do to make sure it is the right thing.

Prayer: My Lord your servant needs wisdom to do what is right in your eyes. Give me the patience I will need to do things right and pleasing to you. I love you Lord please guide me this day.
