Why Get Wisdom?

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord. The other day, we looked at the fact that Wisdom was the principal thing, and that God asks us to get wisdom and understanding. Today, we look at some of the important things that wisdom gives to an individual that gets it.

Proverbs 4v6 (AMPC) tells us “Forsake not [Wisdom], and she will keep, defend, and protect you; love her and she will guard you.” Proverbs 4v8 (AMPC) on the other hand says “Prize Wisdom highly and exalt her, and she will exalt and promote you; she will bring you to honor when you embrace her. She shall give to your head a wreath of gracefulness; a crown of beauty and glory will she deliver to you.”

Indeed Proverbs 3v13-24 (AMPC) tells us that “Happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) is the man who finds skillful and godly Wisdom, and the man who gets understanding [drawing it forth from God’s Word and life’s experiences], For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver, and the profit of it better than fine gold. Skillful and godly Wisdom is more precious than rubies; and nothing you can wish for is to be compared to her. Length of days is in her right hand, and in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are highways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold on her; and happy (blessed, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who holds her fast. The Lord by skillful and godly Wisdom has founded the earth; by understanding He has established the heavens. By His knowledge the deeps were broken up, and the skies distill the dew. My son, let them not escape from your sight, but keep sound and godly Wisdom and discretion, And they will be life to your inner self, and a gracious ornament to your neck (your outer self). Then you will walk in your way securely and in confident trust, and you shall not dash your foot or stumble. When you lie down, you shall not be afraid; yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.”

Prayer

Father, we thank You so much for Your Wisdom. We thank You for letting us know that Wisdom is very important. We ask for Your Wisdom o God, that skillful and godly Wisdom, as well as understanding. Thank You dear Lord in Jesus name we pray, amen.
