Proverbs 2:6-11   ⁶ For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;  ⁷ he stores up sound wisdom for the upright; he is a shield to those who walk blamelessly,  ⁸ guarding the paths of justice and preserving the way of his faithful ones.  ⁹ Then you will understand righteousness and justice and equity, every good path;  ¹⁰ for wisdom will come into your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul;  ¹¹ prudence will watch over you; and understanding will guard you.

Do you feel like you are wise in your decision making? Or do you feel like you sometimes make foolish mistakes? God promises to give us wisdom in dealing with others and making the right decisions for our lives. The only way for us to receive that wisdom is to spend time with the Lord. The more we read his word the more we can hear his voice leading us on the right path.

We will hear God’s voice leading us as we decide which way to turn. We will see God’s leading as we observe how things are falling into place or how things are not going the way they should go. We will receive insight on the right steps to take to be fair and equitable to all and how to bless others even as God has blessed us. We will experience a peace of mind and heart knowing that we are doing what God desires for us. We will walk secure knowing that God is watching over our steps and guarding our path.

Lord, help us to listen to your wisdom. Guide our steps and guard our paths that we might be just and righteous in our decisions. Amen.
