How Can I Gain Wisdom?

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Sunday, 12/14/25

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10 NIV

My Thoughts: To fear the Lord means you wouldn’t dare exalt your own opinions and desires above God’s Word. Trusting God’s Word is the secret to this treasure.

The Responsibility of an Older Woman

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 12/12/25

“Older women similarly are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor addicted to much wine, teaching what is right and good, so that they may encourage the young women to tenderly love their husbands and their children, to be sensible, pure, makers of a home [where God is honored], good-natured, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.” Titus 2:3-5 AMP

My Thoughts: Older Christian women have a lot of wisdom to share. I hope you have an older woman to look up to and turn to for advice. My grandmothers have gone on to be with the Lord. They were wise women, and I miss them so much!

A Word of Wisdom

Cindy Dawson

Quote of the Week for 10/22/25

“Wise Christians surround themselves with reminders of God’s goodness as a way to move beyond their pasts.” Pastor David Jeremiah

After Joseph became 2nd in command to Pharaoh in Egypt, he had two sons.

“Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh[a] and said, “It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household.” The second son he named Ephraim[b]and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.” Genesis 41:51-52 Read full chapter

Footnotes

  1. Genesis 41:51 Manasseh sounds like and may be derived from the Hebrew for forget.
  2. Genesis 41:52 Ephraim sounds like the Hebrew for twice fruitful.

Why Do I Need Wisdom?

Cindy Dawson

Quote of the Week for 9/24/25

“Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.”

– Charles Spurgeon

“Blessed are those who find wisdom,
    those who gain understanding,
for she is more profitable than silver
    and yields better returns than gold.
She is more precious than rubies;
    nothing you desire can compare with her.”
Proverbs 3:13-15

Do You Need Wisdom Today?

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Tuesday, 9/9/25

“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. But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.  That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.  Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.” James 1:5-8 Read full chapter

Commentary: Those with wisdom know what to do in the midst of confusing circumstances – a clarity that only God can give. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

How to Season Your Conversations with Salt

Cindy Dawson

1-minute devotion for Friday, 8/22/25

“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 NIV Read full chapter

My thoughts: Salt makes food taste better, and when seasoned properly, you might even ask for more. But if you went to a restaurant that didn’t season its food with salt, would you ask for more? You probably wouldn’t go back!

To be seasoned with salt means to use wisdom, to be gracious (pleasant and kind), and to be prepared to answer questions about Jesus and the Gospel.

“Confidence that one’s impressions are God-given is no guarantee that this is really so, even when they persist and grow stronger through long seasons of prayer. Bible-based wisdom must judge them.”

Overlooking Offenses: A Biblical Perspective

Cindy Dawson

Sunday’s Memory Verse for 5/11/25

“A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to OVERLOOK AN OFFENSE.” Proverbs 19:11 NIV

Have you ever been offended by what someone said or did? Of course! We all have! But did you know that God tells us to overlook an offense?

Over 30 years ago, my Bible study teacher recognized that I was upset about something. The next time I saw her, she gave me an index card with Proverbs 19:11 written on it. She probably had no idea that it was going to change my life. As I opened my heart to God’s Word, something wonderful happened! The Truth set me free!
