By John Callahan, Wednesday, September 10, 2014

In the Bible there are many different passages of wisdom and knowledge. It is very important that we use our knowledge and experience to make decisions. But, most of all, we use the Bible as guidance. Who knows better than the Lord when it comes to guiding us in the right direction?

Always remember that no one can lead us in a better direction than God. Our own understanding and experience can help make a better decision and the Lord plays a major role in that.

Below are 10 scripture passages on wisdom:
