Luke 7:35 (NLT)

But wisdom is shown to be right by the lives of those who follow it.

wisdom — The soundness of an action or decision with regard to the application of experience, knowledge, and good judgment

Oh, to have wisdom in every decision I make! Our past experiences in life should give us a wealth of wisdom shouldn’t it? Yet, knowledge and experience won’t be enough; they must be accompanied by good judgment. The way someone is proven to be wise is look at their life decisions… do they use good judgment? Thankfully, the Holy Spirit will accompany us in our decision-making, giving direction when we tend to lean on our own selfish desires.

I pray for the prodigal to have good judgment, to use their past experience to gain knowledge and then with the help of the Holy Spirit, make wise decisions regarding life. I pray they always strive to follow wisdom.
