Wisdom

"Accumulated knowledge does not make a wise man. Knowledgeable people are found everywhere, but we are cruelly short of wise people." Michel Quoist

Wisdom...we all think we have it at times, we all lack it most of the time, and we all wish we had it more all of the time!

God promises to grant us His wisdom if we just ask. I know that at times, especially the times we need wisdom, we aren't always remember to stop and seek God's wisdom. So,the solution? Ask for it when you aren't desperate, in the moment. If you begin to ask God for wisdom on a regular basis maybe it will be there when you need it the most!
