b'Have you ever been in a situation where you needed to make an important\\ndecision, but you weren\\u2019t sure how to go about it? Do you sometimes fear\\nthat taking a wrong path would cost you\\u2014maybe jeopardizing your happiness\\nor your relationships\\u2014and yet you\\u2019re not sure of the right path to take?\\nOften times, we find ourselves in situations where our knowledge and\\nunderstanding is limited, and we don\\u2019t know what to do, or even where to\\nstart. If we\\u2019re going to make good decisions, we\\u2019ll have to apply wisdom.\\nWisdom is like a lamp that illuminates the way where there is darkness. And\\nthe Bible tells us that God is the source of wisdom (Proverbs 2:6). We see\\nthis in 1 Corinthians 1:30. Paul writes to people who have put their trust\\nin Jesus: \\u201cGod has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made\\nhim to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and\\nholy, and he freed us from sin.\\u201d Jesus is our wisdom, and through His death\\nand resurrection, we can be in relationship with God. And God wants to help\\nus. In James 1, God invites us to ask Him for wisdom, and He promises to\\ngive it to us (verse 5). So whenever we need to make a decision, we can ask\\nGod for help. One of the ways God guides us is through His Word, the Bible.\\nJames goes on to say, \\u201cHumbly accept the word God has planted in your\\nhearts, for it has the power to save your souls. But don\\u2019t just listen to\\nGod\\u2019s word. You must do what it says\\u201d (verses 21-22). This passage echoes\\nsomething Jesus said: that a person who hears His words and does them is\\nlike a wise man who built his house upon a rock (Mathew 7:24). So if we\\nlive according to God\\u2019s Word, then our decisions will be built on a firm\\nfoundation. When we are at a crossroads of decision-making, wondering which\\nway to go, we need not grope in the dark. God is there, ready to light the\\nway (John 8:12). Let us accept God\\u2019s offer of wisdom so we can make good\\ndecisions in every situation. \\u2022 Enid Adah Nyinomujuni \\u2022 Where do you need\\nwisdom? Consider taking a moment to talk to God about this. \\u2022 Are you ever\\nafraid of making the wrong decision? There are some situations in our lives\\nwhere there isn\\u2019t a right or wrong choice. And no matter what happens, as\\nChristians, we can know that Jesus will be with us through everything we\\nface. How might this truth give you hope? If you need wisdom, ask our\\ngenerous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for\\nasking. James 1:5 (NLT)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nProv.2.6|Matt.7.24-Matt.7.29|1Cor.1.30|Jas.1.5'
