Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to seek wisdom if I'm struggling with sin or unrepentant?+
The Bible teaches that God gives wisdom to those who humble themselves and repent of their sins (Proverbs 9:10, James 1:21). Seek God's guidance and seek to obey His word.
Can I seek wisdom for my own personal gain or selfish desires?+
God's wisdom is not given to those who seek it for personal gain, but for those who seek to honor and fear Him (Proverbs 1:7, 8:10-21). Seek wisdom to glorify God, not to benefit yourself.
How do I know if the wisdom I'm seeking is from God?+
God's wisdom will always align with His word and will bear fruit in your life (Matthew 7:15-20, Proverbs 3:5-6). Trust in God's guidance and test everything against His word.
