Bible Verse of The Day – 1-18-21

Proverbs 1:20-22 (NKJV) 20 Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the open squares. 21 She cries out in the chief concourses, At the openings of the gates in the city She speaks her words: 22 “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.

God wants us to be wise. His word teaches us this over and over again, from Genesis to Revelation.

So many people believe wisdom is hard to find or obtain. This may seem to be true if we believe that wisdom can only be obtained by our own experiences over the course of many, many years.

The truth, however, is that God gives us many ways of becoming wise.

Learning from our own experiences is only one way. And to be honest, this is probably the hardest way to gain wisdom because it means we have to go through a lot of tough things before we start to have the insights and understanding that come with being wise.

So, what’s the best way to become wise?

Well, there is more than just a single way.

We can glean a lot of wisdom from watching and listening to others who offer to share their insights with us.

We can learn by observing others who have understanding that we may lack.

We can pray and seek wisdom from the Holy Spirit, Who will lead us in all things.

And we can spend time gleaning wisdom from the word of God.

His word is packed with wisdom from centuries of people who walked His path and who penned what the Holy Spirit inspired them to write.

God’s wisdom is the best and most pure because it is not contaminated by man.

Therefore, get wisdom.

Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
