Wisdom comes from On High!

I once read, “We can get information on-line but wisdom comes from on High!” Proverbs 2:6 reads, “The Lord gives wisdom…” He gave us His word to read, study and apply to our life.
A great Bible study for you is to choose one topic, record as many verses in God’s Word on that subject and ask for wisdom to apply it to your life. I chose love. There are several columns of recorded verses on ‘Love’, ‘Loved’ and ‘Loving’ in the concordance of my Bible. I marveled at His love for me and saw my need to do my best to love as He loved. May I share some of the verses revealed to me? You can find others.

1. John 3:16--(My favorite) God so loved the world He gave His only son (for me!).
2. Romans 5:8--God loved us even when we were sinners.
3. Galatians 5:22-- the fruit of the spirit is love…
4. 1 John 4:16--God is love.
5. Romans 8:28--All things work together for good to those that love God.
6. John 13:36—(God commands) Love one another as I have loved you.
7. John 14:15-- If you love Me, keep my commandments.
8. John 15:13—There is no greater love than to lay down your life (Christ did this for me and you!)
9. Romans 8:38-39 – Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
10. John 15:9—Continue in His love.
11. 1 John 3:1—Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us!
12. John 5:42—The love of God is in you!
13. Matthew 5:19—Love your neighbor.
14. Matthew 5:44—Love your enemies.
15. Ephesians 5:2—Walk in love as Christ loved us.

You can add to the list of verses or do your own study. Maybe select ‘joy’ or ‘self-control’. Remember, He gives wisdom. Pray before you study.
