The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding - Proverbs 9:10.
We need Godly wisdom to make wise decisions
and smart choices. Our God is the source of all wisdom. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to
all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him - James 1:7. Let
us ask the wisdom of God that is pure, peaceable and perfect. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure,
then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits,
without partiality and without hypocrisy - James 3:17.
Solomon asked God for wisdom to lead the
people rather than wealth or anything when he became the king of Israel. Give
me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern
this great people of yours? - 2 Chronicles 1: 10. God fulfilled the desire of Solomon
by giving him wisdom along with wealth and honor. Wisdom and knowledge are
granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none
of the kings have had who were before you, nor shall any after you have the
like - 2 Chronicles 1:12.
Let us ask and receive
wisdom from God. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your
own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your
paths. Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and depart from evil -
Proverbs 3:5-7. As fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, let us fear God
and walk in His perfect wisdom.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Grant us Your
wisdom and teach us your ways. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
