Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.
We know how important it is to get God’s wisdom. It brings us understanding and the peace that we need to carry out whatever is in God’s plan for us.
It comes when we accept what He is doing. Alongside it comes rest in our natural man, AKA the flesh.
When we humbly say yes to His plan for us, when we calm down and look to Him for our next move, there we will find wisdom and understanding. His peace will follow.
How do we get this “principal thing” called wisdom?
2 Chronicles 1:10 (NKJV) 10 Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?”
Solomon had to ask for it, as we will too.
He asked God, and God gave him wisdom. But because he asked for the right thing with the right heart and intentions, he got more than what he needed to carry out God’s plan in his life.
Asking for the right thing is crucial.
2 Chronicles 1:12 (NKJV) 12 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.”
How many of us today are trying to get the work of God done without even asking Him for His wisdom? We are not just talking to pastors, priests or church-related positions, but anything that God has put in our hands to carry out or maintain.
How many of us ask God for wisdom to raise a family or keep our marriage strong?
How many ask God for wisdom to eat right or keep healthy?
Do we think God doesn’t know more than these dieticians?
How about wisdom to get through tough seasons that hit hard and want to knock the wind out of us?
Ask. And just as He gave to Solomon, He will give to us what we need for wisdom to make the right decisions, give the right counsel and help those involved.
