Is there a reverent fear of God resident in your heart driven by an awareness of His sovereignty? Has your heart come under the conviction that by His power all things were created, that He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together? If this is true, then your search for wisdom has commenced. With such an understanding of the nature of God and our relationship to Him, the creator and the created, we assume a posture of humility, obedience, and devotion. Wisdom is adopting the perspective of God through an alignment with His desires – our thoughts, attitudes, and motives becoming holy as He is holy. As the mind grows in such wisdom provided by God, our behavior begins to bear out what we believe. The choices made, the attitudes reflected, and the desires expressed all reveal a pursuit of knowing him, seeking first His kingdom, and setting the mind on things above. The search for wisdom is a lifelong endeavor enabled through the generous provision of God to all who ask in faith – one which should be pursued as for hidden treasure. Facing the certain trials of life while possessing the same attitude as Jesus Christ to an ever-increasing measure, we will be blessed with enduring faith and a life well lived, pleasing and honoring to God.
For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity, Guarding the paths of justice, And He preserves the way of His godly ones.
Proverbs 2:6-8
