Wisdom

The Lord has done many wonderful things! Everyone who is pleased with God’s marvelous deeds will keep them in mind. ~ Psalm 111:2 (CEV)

I ask the glorious Father and God of our Lord Jesus Christ to give you his Spirit. The Spirit will make you wise and let you understand what it means to know God. ~ Ephesians 1:17 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
One of the great things God does is to grant us wisdom and understanding.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for being so generous with wisdom and understanding. I confess, though, that I have so little of it. And I seriously doubt that it is your fault. I want to know you -- really really know you in a way that transforms me into a wise person. Amen.
