Daily Devotional: August 23 – Wiser Than Ever

You, through Your commandments, make me wiser than my enemies; for they are ever with me – Psalm 119:98

The Book of James tells us to ask God for wisdom as we patiently wait for His deliverance in times of trials and tribulation. In this passage, we see that we can become wiser by paying attention to statues and principles found in the word of God. When we combine this passage with what we find in the book of James, we see that wisdom comes by cultivating the habit of reading, asking, and listening. Specifically, becoming wiser is all about reading the word of God, asking God in prayer, and then listening for His instructions. In other words, wisdom is a natural outcome of developing the daily discipline of having our quiet time with God and humbling ourselves before Him. If we are not getting any wiser, it is because something is off in one of the three areas of reading, asking, or listening. Don’t just read, ask as you read. Don’t just ask but listen. And when you hear, follow what He is prompting you to do. Do these and your enemy won’t stand a chance!

Spending quality time with God makes me wiser beyond my years
