Wisdom is not the same thing as knowledge. You can very easily be acquainted with facts, truths or principles; yet, if you don’t apply this information to your life, you are actually the opposite of wise.

Wisdom, especially spiritual wisdom, is not just about knowing what’s good for you, but applying that knowledge into your everyday life.

1. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.

2. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.

3. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.

4. Dear God, “I have a problem; it's me.”

5. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging.

6. Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.

7. The most important things in your home are the people.

8. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home.

9. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk taking. Learn from the turtle…it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck.

10. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

THE MASTER PLAN

There is never a moment in life that we don’t need God standing by;
He is the answer we’re seeking when we ask the question “Why?”
It’s all a matter of faith, the faith that allows you to pause
And remember the full importance and immutability of God’s laws.
He’s standing there beside you, and in faith you can always see
That God has a plan for forever, though its unknown by you and me.
So with Him in control you can focus on performing as well as you can
The duties he wants you to handle while He handles the Master Plan.

- B. Killebrew

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. Proverbs 9:10 ESV

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. James 1:5 ESV

Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord, and turn away from evil. Proverbs 3:7 ESV

So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Ephesians 5:15-17 NLT
