If you have a decision to make and need wisdom, go straight to the Source. Ask God to show you how to make choices that will bring honor to His name.

He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him.”
Heavenly Father, You are the Source and the Light of wisdom.

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.—Matthew 6:28 (NIV)
