The days we live in and all the circumstances we encounter each day require us to have a wisdom that goes beyond our own minds. That’s why we need the wisdom of God in our lives. Today, I want to share with you a devotional from my book Devotions for Working Women that reminds where to get God’s wisdom. Enjoy!

The Words of Christ Make You Wise
#362

Colossians 3:16 (NLT)
Let the words of Christ, in all their richness, live in your hearts and make you wise. Use his words to teach and counsel each other.

We all want and need wisdom. God tells us in order to obtain wisdom we need to ask Him and He will gladly grant it to us. But we also have to do our part, which is to read His Word. The words of Christ are all recorded in the Bible. When we read the Word and meditate on it day and night, His wisdom comes to us. We also have the Holy Spirit who gives us wisdom to apply to our personal lives and specific situations. We are to use His words to teach and counsel each other, but we can’t accomplish that kind of mentoring relationship if we don’t possess wisdom.

If you want to be known as a wise woman at work, this is the secret. Pursue wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.
