How Do I Get Wisdom?
Since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of His will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives. (Colossians 1:9) Join Georgie, an 8-year-old girl with a cape and an insatiable curiosity, on her quest to discover the secret of gaining wisdom. Along her journey, she encounters various characters, each sharing a piece of wisdom through relatable stories and NIV Bible verses. Will Georgie find the wisdom she's searching for?
Georgie loved asking questions and learning new things. She was a very curious little girl. One sunny morning, as she thought about the bible verse she had heard in Sunday School - Be very careful then how you live, not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity. (Ephesians 5:15-16) She wondered, "Where do you get wisdom?" It seemed like the most important thing in the world to her. She felt that wisdom would make everything better, from school to playing with friends. The one who gets wisdom loves life; the one who cherishes understanding will soon prosper. (Proverbs 19:8) But how does one find wisdom? This mystery was her new quest.
Georgie decided to ask her wise grandma first. - Grandma, where do you get wisdom? Georgie asked eagerly. Grandma smiled and said, - Wisdom begins with wonder, my dear. Knowledge is understanding who God is, but wisdom is putting our fear and trust in God. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. (James 1:5) This verse encourages people to ask God for wisdom when faced with difficult situations. Georgie felt inspired but still wanted more answers.
Next, Georgie wandered into the forest, hoping to find the wise old owl. - How can I find wisdom, Mr. Owl? she asked. The owl blinked slowly and replied, - Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens. Listen to advice and accept discipline, and at the end you will be counted among the wise. (Proverbs 19:20) But when Georgie tried to listen to the forest, all she heard were rustling leaves. Frustrated, she wondered if she would ever find wisdom.
Georgie felt tired and sat on a bench, ready to give up. - Maybe I'm just not meant to be wise, she sighed. Her cape felt heavy, and so did her heart. Just then, a friendly squirrel scampered up. - Don't give up, Georgie! Sometimes answers come when you least expect them. Georgie smiled a little, feeling encouraged to try again. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10) Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone. (Colossians 4:5-6)
Feeling hopeful again, Georgie asked the man behind the store counter. "Do you have wisdom here?" - Wisdom is sweet, like candy, but it's gained through patience, he said. Wisdom is a treasure from God, and people should seek it with all their hearts. He gave her a candy with a note inside that read, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7) Georgie's excitement returned. She decided to seek wisdom everywhere she went. Take my instruction instead of silver, and knowledge rather than gold; for wisdom is better than jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her. (Proverbs 8:10–11)
At last, Georgie was sent an angel in her dreams who was called Wisdom. - I've been with you all along, the angel said softly. Wisdom is about learning from everyone and everything and how you use that knowledge. Georgie realized that every person she met had taught her something valuable. Her heart filled with joy, knowing she had found wisdom in her journey. It is the LORD who gives wisdom; from Him come knowledge and understanding. (Proverbs 2:6-8) The End.
