It guides our decisions, protects our path, shapes our character, and fills our hearts with joy.Scripture tells us that the Lord is the source of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. His wisdom isn't meant to be something we only read and collect. It's meant to become the way we think, respond, make decisions, and live our everyday lives.And here's something I love about Proverbs 2:6–11: God doesn't just give us wisdom to know what is right.
