A study from Vince Baker Ministries
How do I ask God for wisdom and recognize His answer?
Proverbs describes seeking wisdom with sustained attention. James connects it with humility and conduct that makes peace. Jesus identifies Himself as greater than Solomon in Matthew 12. Read these passages together and consider what wisdom does in the situation you are trying to address.
What Makes Christ’s Wisdom Different From Cleverness
The first set often discusses wisdom as power and true wealth. Jesus places His message in relation to Solomon’s reputation for wisdom. Consider where you can give attention to Christ’s teaching in a decision where cleverness or recognition would be easier to value.
Put one quote into practice
Write down your question without assuming the outcome. Pray for wisdom, look at a Biblical passage in context, and ask a person who knows the problem for counsel. Compare the options by the likely fruit of each, including honesty, peace, and concern for people affected.
