Seek God's Wisdom

Seek God’s Wisdom “My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.” Proverbs 2:1-5 This is a powerful scripture as it tells us that if we can store up God’s word in our hearts we can help to avoid sin in our lives. The words of God teach us the good things in life and how to avoid the evil things of this world. When we have the wisdom of God’s word stored away in our minds, we will also know the course of action to follow in dealing with our many issues and troubles that we all face. His words will lead us on the paths of righteousness, and keep us from the paths of destruction. Wisdom will save us from the enticements of men to follow perverse ways, and from the temptations of Satan that lead us astray. Wisdom is such an important thing to discern from the word of God, as King Solomon desired wisdom more than anything else that God granted him. Just think that if we knew the full wisdom of God what a different person we would be. Think about how our lives would be changed. In the scripture above God tells us that if we will call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, that we can all find this knowledge of God. This is powerful, as if we can harness the wisdom of God, we will know how to deal with the many problems and issues we face on this earth, and as stated in the previous devotional will have God to help us deal with these. So today I urge each of you to seek God’s wisdom and put it into practice in your lives.
