Read Proverbs 1:20–23.
These words give me hope. In a world swirling with loud ideas, unfiltered thoughts, and countless suggestions, the search for wisdom can feel daunting. But wisdom isn’t locked away in a safety deposit box somewhere. It’s not carrying on in the VIP lounge of some exclusive club. No, it’s “out in the open” (Proverbs 1:20). It’s available. It’s ours if we’ll take it.
It begins with God Himself. “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7, NIV). God is a giver. When we seek Him with reverence and respect, He delights in giving us knowledge and understanding to act rightly. He doesn’t dangle the carrot just to yank it away.
Do you believe that? I do, but sometimes I forget. Sometimes I think wisdom means using fancier words, listening to better podcasts, or quoting song lyrics I don’t really understand. (Shh, don’t tell anyone!) But wisdom actually means a deep, abiding fellowship with God. It comes through prayerful obedience. A life marinated in God’s Word. God is the source of wisdom!
So, what kind of life are you leading? Is it a life that acknowledges God—a life of awe and wonder? Wisdom is out there, not tucked away in some back alley. It’s ours if we’ll take it. Time to wise up!
