Wisdom Talks
Welcome to Wisdom Talks: Discussing God's Wisdom for
Everyday Life
We might think that wisdom is something that only adults
need. But, that's not true! Wisdom, or knowing what is right
and what is wrong and how to behave because of that, is
important for every one at every age.
Wisdom can help you as you make decisions right now
decisions such as who you will choose to be your friends, how
you should use your time, how you will respond to your
teachers, or who you should trust.
God's Word (the Bible) is full of wisdom that will help youin your everyday life.
As you study God's Word each day, you will need to have a
Bible ready and a pen or a pencil. But, don't worry, there won't
be too much writing to do.
This week, we will be exploring what wisdom is, why it is
important for us, and how we can get it. But, first of all, I want
to know what you think of when you think of wisdom. What do
you think that wisdom is?

Here's what you need to remember:
When we fear God (or respect Him), we listen to His words
and obey them.
As we obey God, we begin to understand God more and we
grow in wisdom.

"What do I need to have before I canget wisdom?"
Lesson Two, Level Three"Why is Wisdom Important for Me?"You may be wondering, "What's the "big deal" about wisdom? Why is wisdom so important? Is it really important for MY
life?"
The Bible talks a lot about the blessings that God's wisdom will bring to the people who seek it. Read each of the verses below, then write the blessings of wisdom in the lines beside
the reference.
Proverbs 3:12: ___________________________________________________________Proverbs 3:34 ________________________
____________________________________Proverbs 3:56 ____________________________________________________________
Proverbs 3:78 ____________________________________________________________Proverbs 3:910 ___________________________________________________________Do any of these benefits of wisdom sound interesting to you?
Remember, the book of Proverbs does not promise these benefits to every wise person, but gives generalizations. For example, usually a person will be wealthier when they are
wise with their money than they would have been if they were foolish with their money.
We need to have certain heart attitudes before we can begin to
get wisdom.
Read each passage below, than write what kind of a heart that
we need to have in order to grow in wisdom:

Wisdom TalksWisdom TalksLesson Four, Level Three Lesson Four, Level Three
"Where Can I Get Wisdom?" "Where Can I Get Wisdom?"Wisdom is not hard to find! We just need to know where to look
for it.
The law of the Lord is perfect,restoring the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure,making wise the simple.
The precepts of the Lord are right,rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure,enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean,enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true; theyare righteous altogether.
They are more desirable than gold, yes,
than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the
drippings of the honeycomb.
According to this Psalm, it is the testimony of the Lord that
makes people wise. Testimony, law, precepts,
commandment, judgments, rules these are all other ways of
saying that the words of God, which can be found in theBible, are what will make us wise.
On the next page, see how many of the bold words from the
Psalm above you can find in the word search.

look for wisdom? Fill in the letters in the word below:
B _ _ _ _We can also learn wisdom from other people. However, we must
make sure that these people are helping us to follow the Bible's
wisdom. Remember, if someone tells you to do something against
the Bible, it is not wise!

people that can teach us wisdom.

Heart Check! Check the boxes Yes or No. YES NO
Wisdom TalksLesson Six, Level ThreeA Man Who Prayed
If God promised you that you would be granted one prayer
request, what would you ask for?
In today's Bible reading, you will read about a man who was
given this opportunity.
Read 2 Chronicles 1:713Caleb rewrote the story of Solomon below, but he made some
mistakes. Can you fix his mistakes by crossing out the words in bold
and writing the correct words on the lines? Don't forget to use your
Bible!
One night, God appeared to David ___________ andsaid to him, "Ask what I shall give you." Solomonsaid, "God, you have dealt very kindly with my
brother _____________, David, and have made meking in his place. Give me now riches ___________and wealth _____________ that I may rule this great
people."
God said to Solomon, "Because youhave asked for wisdom and not riches,or wealth, or honor, or revenge on yourenemies, I have granted your request. Iwill also give you riches and wealth andmany horses _____________ such asnone of the kings before or after you
will ever have."
