Opinions are biased beliefs that may not be founded in absolute truth. They can be mindsets that keep us bound through inner personal laws. Wisdom, on the other hand, is from above. We are not born with it. It is imparted to us as we ask the One who is All Wise.

The Lord appeared to King Solomon in a dream by night. In 1 Kings 3:5 He said, “Ask! What shall I give you?” Solomon asked for an understanding heart, so he could discern between good and evil. 

Verse 12 says, “Behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.” What a gift!

Why would we rely on another’s opinion, or our own, when we can receive His gift of wisdom by asking. What one thing would you ask for if the Lord asked ‘What shall I give you?’ I would ask for intimate communion with Him that nothing on this earth could rival.
