The Importance of Wisdom


Many search for wisdom, some through their experiences, others through books some through the lives of others, but what does the word of God tells us about wisdom.


Let us examine God's will as it relates to wisdom and strive to accomplish this in our life.


In the book of Proverbs we are told that if we accept the words of the Lord and store up all his commands within us, and apply it to our lives, crying out to Him for understanding, looking for it as for silver, searching for it as for hidden treasure, then we will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God which is true wisdom. {Proverbs 2}

To fear the Lord is understanding which is the beginning of wisdom. Perceiving the words of understanding, and receiving instruction in justice, discretion and learning all of which contributes to wisdom. {Proverbs 2}

Wisdom also becomes a protection to those who seek it. It saves us from the ways of wicked men, because it instruct us on how to walk, allowing us to make wise choices in those whom we associate with.  This includes people who delight in doing wrong and rejoices in the perverseness of evil, those whose path are crooked and who are devious in their ways. {Proverbs 2}


Are you a wise person? Do you consider the way of wisdom and yearn to follow it?
