TITLE - MAKING WISE DECISIONS AMIDST PEER INFLUENCE
The bible verse for today’s devotional is: Proverbs 9:10 (NIV)
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."
Devotional:
Ava’s friends wanted to skip class to hang out at the mall. She hesitated because she knew skipping school was wrong, but she didn’t want to seem uncool. Before making a decision, Ava remembered the story of Solomon, who asked God for wisdom instead of riches (1 Kings 3:5-14). She whispered a quick prayer for guidance. Inspired by Solomon’s choice, Ava decided to stay in school and encouraged her friends to do the same. While a few teased her, others admired her courage, and one even thanked her for standing firm.
When faced with peer pressure, seeking wisdom from God can give you the strength to make the right decision, even when it’s unpopular.
Here are a few reflective questions:
- When was the last time you felt pressured to make a decision?
- How can praying for wisdom help you handle similar situations?
Let us pray:
God, give me wisdom in every decision. Help me to stay true to You and not be influenced by the wrong voices. Amen
Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them, and live them
- I am guided by God’s wisdom.
- I make decisions that honor Him, even when it’s hard.
Do have an amazing day. I’ll see you tomorrow.
