Good Morning!
We often assume that wisdom automatically arrives with age, but Scripture reminds us that true wisdom comes from God, not from the number of years we’ve lived.
Paul instructs us not to place our confidence in worldly security;such as wealth, status, or experience, but to anchor our hope in the One who “richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.” Wisdom begins when we stop relying on ourselves and start depending on God.
One of the clearest biblical examples is found in 1 Kings 3, when young King Solomon ascended the throne. He was inexperienced, untested, and aware of his limitations. Instead of pretending he had everything under control, Solomon humbled himself before God. He didn’t ask for riches, long life, or victory over enemies. He asked for wisdom; a discerning heart to lead God’s people well. And God honored that prayer because it came from humility, not pride.
Solomon teaches us that wisdom is not a reward for age; it is a gift for those who seek God sincerely. You can be young and wise if you walk with God. You can be older and still unwise if you lean only on your own understanding.
Today, let your wisdom begin with surrender. Bring your concerns, decisions, and uncertainties before God with thanksgiving. Ask Him to guide your steps, shape your thoughts, and steady your heart. Wisdom grows in the soil of humility, prayer, and trust.
May we all choose God over ego, dependence over arrogance, and wisdom over worry.
