What Can I Do To Be Wise?

Be wise! NeedEncouragement.comPlease contact us if you have questions or if you need some encouragement.

I believe it is a fact that all good things come from God, so in that case, be wise and remember that wisdom comes from God, also! Some of you may think that you are wise in your own eyes. But be wise and understand that true wisdom comes from having love, fear, and respect for God. Yes, you and I can gain knowledge from books, the internet, or other ways, but to truly be wise, we need to use that knowledge to glorify God and encourage others. There are various sources out there where we can seek understanding – the internet provides vast information – but remember to be wise by turning the acquired knowledge you receive into wisdom.

Being wise does not imply having all the answers; instead, it means knowing where to go when seeking those answers. And first and foremost should always be the good book itself – the Bible! Of course, there are plenty of other resources available for learning how to be wise as long as they do not conflict with what we learn from God’s word. We must acknowledge our foolish choices along life’s journey; consequences may have been paid already but sometimes their effects linger on. Therefore, let us strive to continuously grow wiser each day because without wisdom we become vulnerable to attacks from the devil who seeks our destruction in these evil days. Being wise doesn’t mean depriving ourselves of fun or joking around; it simply means being intelligent enough to discern when it is appropriate or necessary. As my dad used to say with great conviction: “There is a time and place for everything.” ~ Bill Greguska

Proverbs 3:7  Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
