Get Wisdom!

“Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.”
Proverbs 4:5-7

Wisdom is defined as spiritual discernment, special insight, knowledge coupled with judgment and skill. The word of God is the wisdom of God. The Bible tells us to "get" wisdom. Wisdom is not just going to fall on you. You must obtain it, acquire it, possess it, and receive it. Wisdom is the principal thing. It's the highest in rank and it is a priority for our daily lives. We cannot prosper without wisdom.

Proverbs describes wisdom as a "she" and a "her". Wisdom is personified as a female because I believe it is to be pursued. Like a man that pursues a virtuous woman, wisdom should be pursued the same way. Wisdom is not playing hide and seek with you. Wisdom says in Proverbs 8:17, “I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.”

Solomon asked for wisdom and God was pleased with his request (1 Kings 3:10). Ask God for wisdom today. God will freely give us wisdom when we ask Him and He won't rebuke us for asking (James 1:5).

Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, You are the giver of all good things. Today I seek Your wisdom. Help me to pursue Your discernment in every area of my life that I may honor and glorify You in all my thoughts, words and deeds. I pray this in Jesus’ Name. Amen
