Wisdom for Excellence
Wisdom for Excellence
Main Scripture:
James 1:5 — “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally…”
Devotional
Excellence requires more than effort — it requires wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to apply knowledge correctly, to make decisions aligned with God’s will, and to act with discernment in complex situations.
Many struggle not because they lack passion, but because they lack direction. Wisdom provides clarity. It helps you choose what matters most, when to act, and how to proceed. Wisdom saves time, prevents costly mistakes, and produces peace.
God never withholds wisdom from those who ask sincerely. He delights in guiding His children. Divine wisdom often shows up as insight, restraint, timing, or a gentle nudge to take a different path.
Excellence is sustained by wise choices made consistently.
When wisdom leads, excellence follows.
