If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time praying for wisdom for the many work decisions that need made. I’ve discovered that many verses in the Bible reference wisdom, knowledge, and understanding all in the same passage.

The beginning of all three traits, however, come from God.
Proverbs 2:6 teaches, “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
