Walking in God's Wisdom: 15 Scripture Verses for Making Wise Choices
🚶♂️📖💡
In our journey through life, making wise choices is crucial. It is in those moments of decision-making that we need God's wisdom to guide us. Thankfully, the Bible is filled with scripture verses that provide us with invaluable insights and teachings on how to make wise choices. Let's explore 15 scripture verses that will illuminate our path and help us walk in God's wisdom.
Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Trusting in God and acknowledging Him in all our ways ensures that we choose wisely.
James 1:5: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." When faced with a decision, seek God's wisdom through prayer and He will generously provide it.
Proverbs 16:9: "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." Even though we may make our own plans, it is God who ultimately guides our steps to make wise choices.
Matthew 7:7-8: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." Persistence in seeking God's wisdom will lead us to the right choices.
Proverbs 19:20: "Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise." Being open to receiving counsel and correction from others is an essential part of making wise choices.
Psalm 119:105: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." The Bible is a valuable source of wisdom and guidance that illuminates our way when making decisions.
Proverbs 11:14: "Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Seeking wise advice from others can help us avoid pitfalls and make informed choices.
Matthew 6:33: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Prioritizing God's kingdom and righteousness in our decision-making ensures that we make choices aligned with His will.
Psalm 37:23: "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way." When we commit our ways to God, He delights in guiding our steps and making our paths clear.
Proverbs 13:20: "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." Surrounding ourselves with wise and godly influences helps us make wise choices.
Matthew 10:16: "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." Jesus Himself encourages us to be both wise and gentle in our decision-making, just as He exemplified during His earthly ministry.
Proverbs 14:12: "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." Often, what may seem right in our own eyes can lead to disastrous consequences. It is only through God's wisdom that we can discern the right path.
Proverbs 15:22: "Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors, they are established." Seeking counsel from others helps us establish solid plans and make wise choices.
Matthew 16:24: "Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.'" Following Jesus' example of self-denial and surrendering our own desires enables us to make wise choices aligned with God's will.
Proverbs 2:6: "For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Ultimately, all wisdom comes from the Lord, and by seeking Him, we can make choices rooted in His knowledge and understanding.
🙏🌟 May these scripture verses be a constant reminder that God's wisdom is available to us. Let us love God, believe in Him, and trust Him with our decision-making. As we walk in His wisdom, let us also love one another, for God loves us all. May you be blessed with discernment and wisdom as you navigate the choices in your life. Amen. 🙏🌟

1 Timothy 6:17-19 – "Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way, they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life."
