GOD'S PROMISES - WISDOM

Ask God for the wisdom to help you through all adversity in your life.

"...and God said, 'Ask for whatever you want me to give you.'  Solomon answered...give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.  The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this...So God said to him '...I will do what you have asked."  1 Kings 3:5b, 9a-12

"...if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding...and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.  For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding."  Proverbs 2:1-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."  Proverbs 3:5,6

"Who is wise?  Let them realize these things.  Who is discerning?  Let them understand.  The ways of the Lord are right; The righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them."  Hosea 14:9

"...the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength."  1 Corinthians 1:25

"...the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.  Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness."  James 3:17,18
