WISE: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON WISDOM
WEEK 4 BIG IDEA:  WE CAN ASK GOD OUR QUESTIONS

SERIES OVERVIEW:

A lot of parents and kids alike focus more heavily on gleaning academic knowledge and gaining meaningful experiences, but teaching our kids to pursue wisdom will help them merge those fields and develop better, God-centered decision-making skills. Kids are placed in plenty of situations where they would need to exercise such discernment. While the wisdom they would need on a daily basis may not be on the scale of Solomon deliberating an argument between two women each claiming to be the rightful mother of a baby, kids will still collect valuable insight about wisdom from such stories. They will first determine wisdom comes from God,  and that being wise also has a lot to do with saying the right words and asking the right questions. . . all of which we can ask of God, who will give them to us because God can be trusted. 

"Jesus never had a problem with people who had a lot of quesitons. He was concerned with the ones who thought they had all the answers." — Maria Goff

Whether it's a kid who seems to have lots of questions this week, or it's you, be encouraged! Our questions are always welcomed by Jesus. He's pretty patient.
