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

We all need wisdom to live in this world that we live in and follow God\u2019s plan.<\/p>\n

How do we get that wisdom?<\/p>\n

We must fear God first\u00a0in order for godly knowledge to begin.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 1:7 (NKJV) 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.<\/p>\n

This kind of fear is different than we might think. It is not the kind of fear that brings terror to our heart.<\/p>\n

That would just make us run from Him.<\/p>\n

This fear refers to a deep reverence, awe, or submission to Him.<\/p>\n

And once we begin to look toward God in such a way, we will draw near and get closer to Him.<\/p>\n

We will desire Him and want to learn more and more of Him and what His desires are for us.<\/p>\n

Wisdom comes as we walk through life, not all by ourselves, but with Him right by our side.<\/p>\n

Having a deep reverence and submissive heart toward Him will cause us to see God move in ways we never thought could be possible.<\/p>\n

But there is more to getting His wisdom than just hoping it will happen. We must pray for it and ask <\/i>God for His wisdom.<\/p>\n

James 1:5 (NKJV) 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.<\/p>\n

It’s important to understand that He doesn\u2019t just dump a big revelation on us and say, \u201cthere you go, you have all you need for life.\u201d<\/p>\n

It comes over time, through many seasons, and through different situations we face and walk through.<\/p>\n

Wisdom builds as we walk through good times and <\/i>challenging times, as we lean on Him to teach us and guide us.<\/p>\n

And as we go through this life, we must keep our ears and eyes open as to who God may be directing us to listen to at times.<\/p>\n

Sometimes the wisdom we need may come through or from someone we least expect. It\u2019s up to us to be listening and watching for Him.<\/p>\n

He will show us who to get mentored\/counseled by for certain things that we need to learn.<\/p>\n

Sometimes those He leads us to may not be our best friend or someone we would normally want to spend time with.<\/p>\n

But they may very well be who we need to listen to for certain advice in a particular season. God\u2019s “wise men” will be there.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 13:20 (NKJV) 20 He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will be destroyed.<\/p>\n
