Wisdom – Asking the Right Questions

The children and I have started reading through Proverbs again- what a book! It is so full of practical advice on how to live. We read Proverbs 3 this morning …all about crying out for wisdom, searching for her as if for hidden treasure etc. Then today I read a line in a George McDonald book I’ve been reading : “You ask the right questions,” he said, “and that’s almost as good as knowing the right answers.” How true! Proverbs encourages us to seek and ask for wisdom from God. Questions like: “What should I do here, Lord? How can I know the right way? How should I act in this situation? Should I do this? – these are all splendid questions to ask and will lead to wisdom.
