Upward Devo: Wisdom (Part 2)

We talked last week about something called “wisdom.”

Wisdom is finding out what you should do and doing it.

Where does wisdom come from?

All wisdom comes from God because He is the wisest of all.

Because all wisdom comes from Him, we can always put our trust in God to help us make wise decisions.

Check this out:

Proverbs 3:5–6 NLT

5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. 6 Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

You guys know what it means to trust in someone, right?

You trust in stuff every day.

You trust a chair to hold you up when you sit down.

You trust your bike to get you to your friend’s house.

You trust your best friend will want to hang out with you over the weekend.

But what happens when chairs or bikes break?

Or your friend made different plans?

Sometimes we rust in things or people that let us down.

But God never will.

He is completely trustworthy.

When God makes a promise, He keeps it, always.

When it comes to wisdom, we shouldn’t lean on our trust in our own way to make the right kind of choices.

Why?

Because we can’t know everything.

But God does.

He made you, He loves you, and He has a perfect plan for your life.

When you ask Him to help you, He will.

You can trust that God will always lead you in the right direction.

If you want to be wise, trust God to give you wisdom.

Questions:

What’s something you trust each day without really thinking about it?

Why should we trust God more than we do other things or other people?
