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.
Asking for Wisdom in a Dark Season
The final sayings give particular attention to finding an answer amid difficulty. James’s invitation to ask comes in a passage about testing and patience. Bring your actual decision to God and name the question you need help answering. Ask someone wise to walk through the options with you.
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.
