The Pursuit of Wisdom
“Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding….” — Proverbs 3:13
If we give our life to the pursuit of anything, we should give ourselves to the pursuit of wisdom. Whatever our education level or cultural background, Jesus offers wisdom to everyone. Think about it……the Creator of everything that exists is inviting us to ask Him for wisdom. King Solomon understood that he needed a spirit of wisdom to fulfill what God had called him to do — lead the people of Israel. (2 Chronicles 1:10) Because Solomon asked for wisdom instead of riches, God granted him wisdom and gave him long life and riches as well. Wisdom is the ability to see how situations relate to the present, how to handle those situations, and how present situations will affect the future. Jesus Christ, who became to us wisdom from God, is asking us to follow His voice instead of the voices of the day. No success principle is better than the wisdom of God. He has the answers to questions we haven’t even formulated yet. We can ask God for wisdom and He will give it to us.
