Wisdom is a gift of God, one that we can freely ask for and freely receive. When reading the Proverbs, it is obvious that those that seek God and go the way of wisdom reap favor and blessing while those that don't reap confusion, sin and ultimately death. Why then would anyone not choose the way of the King? And yet we don't! We want to do our own thing, and even those of us who know that we should follow The Lord figure we'll get there one day, after we've tasted the world for ourselves, only to wonder why we wasted so much time once we've given it all to Him.
Wisdom would tell us cling to The Lord and cling quickly - don't delay, don't waste time. Look at all you stand to lose as your doing your thing. There is so much instruction in the Proverbs that it would behoove all of us to read one a day and apply it to our lives.
Wisdom is not just a word, it's a way of life, it's spirit. Lord, give us a spirit of wisdom. Help us to acknowledge You, walk in Your ways and choose life. Enable us to have understanding and insight and gift us to be more like You in everything we do! Breathe life into us Holy Spirit, so that we can be all our Father has called us to be!
