God is Wise
Another post in my series on the character of God; on the attributes of God.
Take these scriptures and meditate on them. Do not simply read them over or even memorize them. Go deeper than that by meditating on them.
Definition of wise
going beyond knowledge to understanding and action; having keen perception, discernment; power of judging rightly; always making right choices
