Proverbs 4:6-9 (paraphrased) " Do not forsake wisdom, and wisdom will preserve you; Love wisdom, and wisdom will keep you. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Exalt wisdom, and wisdom will promote you; Wisdom will bring you honor, when you embrace wisdom. Wisdom will place on your head an ornament of grace; A crown of glory wisdom will deliver to you."
As you can see, I replaced the words she and her with the word wisdom. When God asked Solomon what the one thing he would want from God, his answer was wisdom and understanding. God tells us that if we ask for wisdom He will give it to us in abundance. Wisdom and understanding are the two things that I sometimes feel lacking in, but on the whole we all have these qualities. They guide us in the knowledge between right and wrong. They guide us in making the right choices. When we have wisdom and knowledge, it helps us guide others to what is most important. Our Lord Jesus Christ. When we have wisdom and things go wrong in our life, it guides us to God's word to hep us solve these problems. All of us have a degree of wisdom and understanding. It is how we put it to use that matters the most. Are we wasting our wisdom and understanding on laziness, falsehoods, wrongful activities or are we learning all we can from God's word and sharing it with others. Can we counsel another if we have not put to use the wisdom God has granted us?
Think on these things and ask God to give you the wisdom and understanding in the areas that you need it most. It is there, God will supply. What a wonderful thing God's wisdom is and more wonderful still that is is freely available for the asking!
