Today we will be dealing with 20 Bible Verses To Pray For God’s Wisdom.

Simply, wisdom is the correct application of knowledge. There is godly wisdom and there is wisdom of men. Godly wisdom is the ultimate. It teaches us all things. Apart from making man wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus, its principles guide us in our private and public lives.

Man is a social creature, living in a society with other people who do not share with him his privacy and intimacy. Indeed, man is not only a private person but public citizen. So, in every social grouping – the church, workplace, school, association or unions, peer groups, etc., man interacts with people from different backgrounds. In all these, we can find wisdom in God’s word on how we can best live in our various communities.

It is godly wisdom that is needed to live in peace. Godly wisdom can be measured by the depth of one’s character. On the other hand, have you ever known anyone who claimed to be wise, but acted foolishly? Foolishness (like envy, strife, etc.) are devilish. It leads to disorder, but godly wisdom leads to peace and goodness.We can get godly wisdom by reading the Bible and adhering to its teachings.

Seeking God’s wisdom and living by it guarantees a peaceful society. Don’t be wise in your own eyes. Here are 20 Bible verses to pray for God’s wisdom.
