“My son, if you accept my words, and
store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your
heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight, and cry aloud for
understanding, and if you look for it as for silver, and search for it as for
hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the
knowledge of God.”
As a people today, we daily search
for wisdom, but all too often we search in the wrong places, and for the wrong
type of wisdom. Life here on earth is stressful, plain and simple; therefore,
we need wisdom to make it through each day. So, where do we find wisdom?
Proverbs 2:6 tells us, “For the Lord gives wisdom, and from His mouth comes
knowledge and understanding.” True wisdom comes from the Lord. All too often,
however, we look to earthly things for wisdom, instead of turning to the Lord.
That wisdom –that earthly wisdom—will only lead us away from God. In our quest
for true wisdom and understanding then, let us look to God for His wisdom, not
the world’s.
