1 · Word Snapshot 🎯

Sophía (σοφία, soh‑FEE‑ah) is the Greek noun for wisdom—skillful insight that builds a good life.

Root adj.: sophós ("skilled, cultivated").
Literally: know‑how that works, not just information.

Appears in the Greek New Testament (NT) 51 times.

In classical Greek it first meant the craft of a master artisan. NT writers packed it with fresh depth: wisdom is God‑given insight that shapes choices (Jas 3:17).

Plain English: sophía is knowing what’s right and how to do it at the right time.

2 · Verse Spotlight 📖

“If any of you lacks wisdom (σοφίας), ask God… and it will be given.” — James 1 : 5

“Christ… the power of God and the wisdom (σοφίαν) of God.” — 1 Cor 1 : 24

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom (σοφίᾳ)…” — Col 3 : 16

All three show sophía as available on request and embodied in Christ—wisdom enters life when we ask and when we look at Him.

Pro tip: any time you see wisdom in your English Bible, check if it’s sophía and ask, “Have I prayed for this, and am I copying Jesus?”

3 · Why It Matters Today

• Ask before you act – wisdom is granted, not assumed (Jas 1 : 5).

• Filter the feed – weigh advice by its fruit, not its volume (Jas 3 : 17).

• Build with skill – small wise choices compound like interest.

These three moves turn scattered knowledge into a life that actually works.

4 · 60‑Second Practice ⏱️

1. Name one decision on your plate today (email, purchase, calendar slot).

2. Pray aloud: “Father, give me Your wisdom for this.”

3. Write the first wise step that comes to mind—and do it before bed.

Wisdom isn’t wisdom until it acts.
