George Washington was said by Thomas Jefferson to have had the best judgment of any man of his day. The brilliant Jefferson said that Washington wasn't the most intellectual, but possessed the very best judgment. He also said that it was the most pure and uncompromisingly fair judgment, without any self-interest.
Although he had little formal education, George Washington read the Bible for an hour each morning upon awakening, and an hour each night before bedtime. The Bible says that in God's light we shall see light, and knowledge of the holy is understanding. I believe that General Washington's good judgment was a result of his in depth knowledge of His Word. His daily prayer journals reveal that he trusted in Jesus Christ alone for the salvation of his soul, and the wisdom needed for the many challenges he faced.
George Washington, the Father of Our Country. "First in War, First in Peace, and First in the Hearts of His Countrymen."
