Ask for It



January 15, 2013

Did you know we can ask for wisdom?

In Proverbs 2, it says if we accept His words and store up His commands within us, turning our ear to wisdom and applying our heart to understanding…look for it as silver…search for it as hidden treasure…then we will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God.

This passage, to me, implies that wisdom comes over a lifetime of learning.  It’s not something young children possess.  They climb up stairs having no wisdom or understanding of the danger of falling backwards.  Wisdom has to be learned.

As one grows and matures and observes and continues to be teachable, it seems that a measure of wisdom emerges.  

But even in growing and learning and searching, we must turn our ear to HIM in a position of daughter/father, listening and hanging on every word that comes from His mouth and no other.

He says we are beautiful, wonderfully made, and bring delight to Him.  It’s wisdom to accept that truth and live in that peace…daily.

Need more wisdom?  Just ask Him.
