A Right Answer

A man has joy in an apt answer, and how delightful is a timely word! - Proverbs 15:23

I had been mulling over a challenging discovery for months. I researched the topic and paid multiple people to help bring hope or answers to this situation, but the results stayed the same. No matter what I strategized, thought, imagined, and discussed, the outcome didn’t appear promising. I needed Godly wisdom, and the Lord showed me that no matter how difficult this may be, He would help. He directed me to a blog post by author Debbie W. Wilson, who asked, “What if He turned it into something good?” The moment I read the question, I had an "a-ha" moment, and my heart was comforted even though nothing had changed in my circumstances, except me.

For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. (Proverbs 2:6) But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. (James 1:5) Giving or receiving an apt answer can bring joy and delight. Trust that God will lead you to a timely answer.

Heavenly Father, You are all-knowing and worthy of our praise. Thank You for Your love, guidance, and wisdom when we ask.
