Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all your getting get understanding”
Everything starts somewhere. Babies start crawling long before they commence walking and after that they learn to run. If we don’t crawl, we will never walk, and will never be able to experience running. Everything in life starts small and then grows and matures into what it should be.
Today’s verse teaches us about wisdom and understanding. It let’s us know that wisdom is the principal or number one thing we need in life. Wisdom is not something that is given, like a gift. Rather, it’s something that we must go out and obtain. Wisdom is something that we must seek, pursue and gather to have in our lives. When we have it we grow!
Now, wisdom is not just something that we should have an interest in. It is something that we should have knowledge and understanding about. In other words, once we have obtained wisdom we should make use of it. It’s not just an ornament in our lives. It’s meant to shape, fashion and form us into what God desires.
This week let’s get more wisdom. If wisdom has lacked in your past then get started today in turning that around. Wisdom is easy to obtain. Simply open your Bible and ask God to reveal His wisdom to you, then start reading and studying to understand what the bible says. Before long you’ll discover that not only do you have wisdom but you also have understanding. Use this to shape, fashion and form your life just as God intends. Have a great week ahead!
