The most common way God reveals His wisdom is through the Scriptures. They are filled with practical truths warning us against things like co-signing a note (Proverbs 11:15), idleness (Proverbs 6:10, 11), reckless words (Proverbs 13:3), selfishness (Proverbs 11:24,25), dishonesty in business (Proverbs 13:11), and foolish companions (Proverbs 13:20), to name just a few. They also provide great principles, eternal truths, which become the core values that govern our lives. Hide the Word of God in your heart and you will never lack wisdom.

“Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long.
Your commands are always with me
and make me wiser than my enemies.

— Psalm 119:97-98 (NIV)

Lord Jesus, help us to daily live in Your word lest be deceived and lose our way. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
