can not call $wpdb in functions.php in wordpress

Question

I was trying to query the database in my theme's functions.php, but it shows

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_results() on a non-object in .../functions.php

I was wondering what did I do wrong. Any help will be appreciate. Thanks.

to check it, you can var_dump( $wpdb );
