The Lord Gives Wisdom
Many people think they are wise. Actually, God alone is wise, and any wisdom we have has come from Him. If we are wise at all, we owe Him all of the credit for that wisdom. In fact, He is the source of all knowledge and understanding, too. (Proverbs 2:6) Solomon knew that as well as anyone, since God made Him the wisest man who has ever lived. We can all learn from his insights in the book of Proverbs.
I believe that wisdom is the ability to see things as God sees them. It is having God's point of view of the facts and His understanding of reality. The only way for any of us to receive wisdom is to go to Him and ask for it. The great thing is that He is not stingy with wisdom. All who call upon Him for wisdom, because they humbly know they need it, and they know He is the only source, will receive all they need and more. The truth is that since He created everything, He knows how everything is composed and how it works. That is why knowledge and understanding come from Him, too. Therefore, we need to pray to the Lord to give us the insights on whatever we need to know and do. He will lead us, if we ask in faith, so we can obey His wisdom.
Tomorrow, I intend to read Proverbs 3-6.
