Living according to God's wisdom

1 Kings 3:28 (ESV)

28 And all Israel heard of the judgment that the king had rendered, and they stood in awe of the king, because they perceived that the wisdom of God was in him to do justice.

If you want to make the right choices in your life, start with the Bible—that is God’s wisdom. Let the Word come into your heart. Make sure you know the main storyline of Scripture. Do not live by short texts. Let the mindset of the Bible mould your heart and mind. In this way the Spirit gives you a listening (and understanding) heart. He changes you so that you desire to do and choose what God wants you to do. He makes your heart and thinking new so that you think how God thinks about things (Philippians 1:9–11). 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).
