A word not used in contemporary culture much is the word wisdom. Has it left us? It seems people are moved by feelings and opinions and not true wisdom these days. The art of decision making is the essence of wisdom. We make many decisions everyday. We need wisdom to make the right decisions. Some of the prerequisites to wisdom are prudence, understanding and knowledge. To gain understanding we really need to consider what God as designer intended. Many people try to go on their own understanding and end up confused.  Their understanding only reaches 5'6", 5'8, 6'1" or whatever their height. We desperatly need God's wisdom. How do we get it? Easy, James says we simply ask God who will give it liberally to you! Do you have decisions to make today? It doesn't matter how big or small. This is one of God's promises that he will give it generously to those who are humble enough to ask for it! Wisdom has two foundations, one is from below and the other from heaven above. Which source of wisdom do you walk in? 

This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits... James 3:15-17

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. James 1:5
