God Will Give You Perfect Counsel
Blessed are those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding.
Proverbs 3:13

If we want surefire counsel based in truth, if we want guidance that works, we need the wisdom that comes straight from God. This wisdom is the only advice that will satisfy us. As the above proverb promises, “blessed are those who find wisdom.”
If you’re scratching your head as you ponder your next move, take your questions to God himself. As you listen to the Word and the Spirit, you’ll eventually know the best course of action.
GOD’S PROMISE TO ME
• I will give you wisdom.
• I will gladly show you what to do.
MY PRAYER TO GOD
O Lord, when times get tough, it is hard to know what to do. I need wisdom from above. I praise you for being the source of all wisdom. Help me to remember your willingness to help in my times of trial.
