James 1:5 (NLT) says, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” This verse teaches us that whenever we are confused or unsure about something, we can go to God, and He will give us the wisdom we need.
Most of us can agree that being in a situation where we feel lost and don’t know what to do is not enjoyable. As Christians, we are very blessed because God is with us at all times. Without Him, it would be much harder to climb out of the difficult situations we sometimes fall into. Psalm 32:8 (NLT) tells us about God’s guidance and steady presence when we feel unsure or lost: “The LORD says, ‘I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.’”
As kids, we don’t always know what wisdom is or why it’s important. Wisdom isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about asking God to help you choose what’s right and doing it, even when you really want to do something else. Sometimes, wisdom just means stopping for a second and thinking before you act. That is why it is so important to seek God for wisdom when we are faced with problems, so He can guide us onto the right path. Proverbs 3:13–14 (NLT) says, “Joyful is the person who finds wisdom, the one who gains understanding. For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold.” This verse reminds us that wisdom is more valuable than anything money can buy.
It’s also important to remember that not all knowledge from the world lines up with God’s truth. 1 Corinthians 3:19 (NLT) says, “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, ‘He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.’” Worldly wisdom can sound convincing, like, “Just do it,” or “It’s not that serious,” or “Everybody does this.” It might seem smart, but it doesn’t always lead to good choices. God’s wisdom, on the other hand, helps you pause, think, and choose what’s right—even when it’s hard or when you really don’t want to.
So in conclusion, we should always turn to God when we need wisdom. Whether it’s for school, work, or a difficult season in life, we should never allow the opinions of the world to convince us that God’s Word is wrong. He’s always right, and when we follow His wisdom, the results will always be worth it.
