Why Wisdom Matters

Most of us don’t wake up planning to make bad decisions. We want to choose well, live wisely, and avoid unnecessary regret. Yet life has a way of presenting moments where clarity feels hard to find, and the cost of a wrong turn can be high. As we begin our study in Proverbs, we’re introduced to God’s wisdom for everyday life. Solomon explains that wisdom is meant to guide decisions, shape character, and help us live with discernment in a complex world. In today’s message, Pastor Jeff helps us see why wisdom isn’t optional for the believer—how it shapes discernment, guides everyday decisions, and begins with a proper fear of the Lord.
