Bible Wisdom For Daily Living

Wisdom is the principal thing...

And to man He said, "Behold, the fear of the Lord,
that is wisdom, and to depart from evil
is understanding."

Job 28:28

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. But let him ask in
faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like
a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
For let not that man suppose that he will receive
anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded
man, unstable in all his ways.

she will deliver to you.
