Seek Wisdom in the Word - July 29, 2008

Good morning and good day! I hope that you enjoyed a wonderful day yesterday and an even better one today.

Proverbs 2:3-5 tells us to: "Cry out for insight and ask for understanding. Seek for them as you would for hidden treasure. Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God." Jesus also reminded us that he who seeks, finds. When it comes to wisdom, we cannot be passive in our search. Gaining or growing in wisdom is one of those "do" things that we find in our Christian life. We must seek wisdom in order to gain understanding. It is interesting that the world exhorts us to seek knowledge, but the Bible says to seek wisdom first and then we will gain understanding and knowledge of God. How do I know this? From reading on in Proverbs of course! "For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding." (2:6) By seeking wisdom in the Lord, we find it in His holy Word, the Bible. However, that is not to say that it will be easy! That is why we are encouraged to read in the Word every day. Seek treasure in the Word of God!

I pray that we will grow in wisdom with each passing day.
