Wisdom

When you just do not know what to do or say, ask God for His wisdom.  When you do not really know how to handle one of life's situations, ask God.  Scripture teaches that God graciously gives wisdom to any man who willfully asks. James teaches that if we lack wisdom, we only need to ask God to grant it to us and He generously gives wisdom. We must realize how important it is for us to daily walk in the wisdom of God.

Proverbs 4:7 resounds, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding." This fourth chapter of Proverbs encourages one to pay special attention to getting and knowing understanding. It teaches us to seek hard after wisdom for this is the most important thing.

Wisdom includes walking the right path: "when thou runneth, thou shalt not stumble." And do not walk the path of the wicked, but avoid it, do not even pass by it. Hold fast to instruction, for she is your life.

So what is really important to you?  Scripture teaches, press hard after wisdom, for it is wisdom that will preserve your life. Open your heart to the Word of God and retain His words...and live.  Because "wisdom is the principal thing" according to Proverbs.
