Can you think of a time when you made a decision that you knew probably wasn’t a good one? Maybe you ate too much candy and felt sick afterwards, or maybe you talked badly about someone in your class behind their back. I can think of many times where I have made choices that probably weren’t the best, too. But even when we are faced with difficult decisions, there is always someone ready to help us. When we ask God for wisdom, God will provide it for us. God is always there and ready to help us when we have a decision to make. By asking God for help, God can teach us good judgment and give us the knowledge to make a wise decision. 

Think about a decision you need to make. Take one minute now to ask God for wisdom and knowledge as you make that decision. This week, look for how God will provide you with what you need to make a wise decision in that situation.
