Wisdom
Imagine you are Aladdin and found a lamp with a genie, and then the genie asked what do you desire to have during this New Year and after? What is going to come out of your lips? Vaccine? Money? Fame or success or what?
Our hearts desire many things. Many of them are not bad and even very important in our lives. But I hope you will desire to have one of the most important things in our journey here on this earth and that is wisdom.
As we look forward to another cluster of adventures and challenges, having wisdom from above is a non-negotiable item we need to acquire. Listen to the wisest man who had ever lived:
1 The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
2 To know wisdom and instruction, To discern the sayings of understanding,
3 To receive instruction in wise behavior, Righteousness, justice, and integrity;
4 To give prudence to the naive, To the youth knowledge and discretion,
5 A wise person will hear and increase in learning, And a person of understanding will acquire wise counsel,
6 To understand a proverb and a saying, The words of the wise and their riddles.
7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Proverbs 1:1-7
And remember, wisdom is available to all who want to have it for God gives it liberally to those who are seeking it (see James 1:5).
So ask, and it shall be given to you.
