All You Have

Proverbs 4 says, The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

Is there anything in life that you would spend “all you have” to get?  I cringe when I spend over $100 on anything, and I can’t imagine giving all that I have to get any material thing at all.  Those things all pass away!

But here we are told to get wisdom and to get understanding.  The word “get” implies that we have to go after them.  They don’t just “happen” to us.  We have to desire them and realize them in our lives by living and leaning and trusting in Him.

Remember we said “understanding” means having good insight or judgment?  It also means being aware of others and their feelings.

Having good insight will motivate us to get that which we know is worth everything we have – understanding.

And the cool thing is that God give it to us, liberally, for the asking.
