what should I do?


Have you ever had a problem and were not sure what to do about it? Then you did something to try and “fix” the problem but only found that you made it worse? I have! Way too many times! Maybe the same problem keeps coming up and you still haven’t figured out what to do about it? I’ve been there! Glad to see I’m not alone!



What I discovered was that I needed to get wisdom on how to deal with a situation. What is wisdom? Two of the meanings I found are “good judgment” and “common sense”. Sometimes we can be in the midst of a problem or situation where we are not sure what to do. But if we had wisdom we would be able to have “good judgment” on what to do to where we could fix the problem and not make it worse. One of the other definitions I found is “knowledge of what is true or right” and putting that into action.



But how do we get wisdom? Proverbs 2:6 says that God gives wisdom and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. All we have to do is ask Him!

You may not hear your friends talking about how bad they want to get wisdom! They are probably talking about how bad they want that new cd or the new tennis shoes. But Proverbs 2:12 says that “wisdom will save you from the ways of the wicked men”. Wisdom is worth getting. It will enable you to make wise choices that will can make your life better, or even save your life!
