Discovering God's Will, Part 5 - Using Wisdom: James 1:5 Memory Verse

This message is Part 5 of this series about Discovering God's Will and discusses how to discern God's will for decisions not found in the Bible. We use wisdom for these decisions such as what career path or who to date. Ephesians 5:15-17 tells us "Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise...Do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is".

To get wisdom, we are told to pray for it, and God will give it to us: "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.” James 1:5

We consult wise counsel to help make decisions. Proverbs 15:22 tells us "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.”

We also read the Bible to grow in wisdom. For example, the Bible might not us which person to befriend but it does tell us to not hang out with foolish people. The bible might not tell us whether to be a doctor or lawyer, but it does tell us that God gave us certain gifts and to consider using wise counsel to discern those gifts.
