The Happy Days and the Ones That Aren'tНамуна

There’s a clear relationship between joy and wisdom. Think about it! When you pursue wisdom, you’re equipped to navigate situations better. The better you handle any situation, the more satisfaction you find. And in that place, there’s joy! Of course, wisdom does something greater than just guiding us toward a desired outcome; it provides us with a foundation that can remain unshaken even when our circumstances don’t give us that desired outcome. Rather than riding the roller coaster of emotions throughout your day, wisdom anchors you in a presence of mind that stays no matter what happens in or around you.

Today, make wisdom the goal! Talk to trusted adults in your life, like a parent, Small Group Leader, or coach, about how they’ve experienced wisdom and joy in their lives. Ask them to encourage you to seek the same.
