Walking in God's Wisdom: 15 Scripture Verses for Making Wise Choices
🚶♂️📖💡
In our journey through life, making wise choices is crucial. It is in those moments of decision-making that we need God's wisdom to guide us. Thankfully, the Bible is filled with scripture verses that provide us with invaluable insights and teachings on how to make wise choices. Let's explore 15 scripture verses that will illuminate our path and help us walk in God's wisdom.
Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths." Trusting in God and acknowledging Him in all our ways ensures that we choose wisely.
James 1:5: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." When faced with a decision, seek God's wisdom through prayer and He will generously provide it.
Proverbs 16:9: "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." Even though we may make our own plans, it is God who ultimately guides our steps to make wise choices.
Matthew 7:7-8: "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." Persistence in seeking God's wisdom will lead us to the right choices.
Proverbs 19:20: "Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise." Being open to receiving counsel and correction from others is an essential part of making wise choices.
Psalm 119:105: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." The Bible is a valuable source of wisdom and guidance that illuminates our way when making decisions.
Proverbs 11:14: "Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Seeking wise advice from others can help us avoid pitfalls and make informed choices.
Matthew 6:33: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Prioritizing God's kingdom and righteousness in our decision-making ensures that we make choices aligned with His will.
Psalm 37:23: "The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his way." When we commit our ways to God, He delights in guiding our steps and making our paths clear.
Proverbs 13:20: "Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm." Surrounding ourselves with wise and godly influences helps us make wise choices.
Matthew 10:16: "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves." Jesus Himself encourages us to be both wise and gentle in our decision-making, just as He exemplified during His earthly ministry.
Proverbs 14:12: "There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death." Often, what may seem right in our own eyes can lead to disastrous consequences. It is only through God's wisdom that we can discern the right path.
Proverbs 15:22: "Without counsel, plans go awry, but in the multitude of counselors, they are established." Seeking counsel from others helps us establish solid plans and make wise choices.
Matthew 16:24: "Then Jesus said to His disciples, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.'" Following Jesus' example of self-denial and surrendering our own desires enables us to make wise choices aligned with God's will.
Proverbs 2:6: "For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." Ultimately, all wisdom comes from the Lord, and by seeking Him, we can make choices rooted in His knowledge and understanding.
🙏🌟 May these scripture verses be a constant reminder that God's wisdom is available to us. Let us love God, believe in Him, and trust Him with our decision-making. As we walk in His wisdom, let us also love one another, for God loves us all. May you be blessed with discernment and wisdom as you navigate the choices in your life. Amen. 🙏🌟

Hebrews 10:19-22 – "Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water."

Matthew 7:24-27 – "Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

Philippians 2:3-8 – "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!"

1 Corinthians 12:12-14 – "Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many."

1 Peter 1:13-16 – "Therefore, with minds that are alert and fully sober, set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.

But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: 'Be holy, because I am holy.'"

Mark 8:34-38 – "Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: 'Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the holy angels.'"

Romans 8:35-39 – "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: ‘For your sake, we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.’ No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins."

James 3:13-18 – "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such ‘wisdom’ does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness."
