There is alot of talk about wisdom in the bible. One of my favorite verses is Matthew 11:19 which states how wisdom is determined, how it’s discerned and identified – by actions.

When I chose the subtitle of my book, Praying Our Way Through Stress, I chose ‘Drawing Wisdom from the Lord’s Life and Prayer’ because of Jesus’ actions in this world.

The way Jesus responded to the stressors of this world are so very different than the majority of people in the world now and back then.

I wonder how many people ever consider putting Gain Wisdom on a New Years Resolution List?

How would a person start gaining wisdom? I think a good idea is by studying and observing the life of Jesus Christ.
Then praying and asking what actions the Lord would like you to take this year on his behalf, might be a good idea.

Let us Pray

Lord, Thank you for the past year and thank you for this new year. Please help me, help us, to gain wisdom by studying your life and actions. Show us the way to live in this generation and time. Then help us to truly repent of the unwise actions we have taken and put the wisdom we gain into action so our lives may be a reflection of yours instead of our own. AMEN
