“The beginning of Wisdom is: get Wisdom (skillful and godly Wisdom)! [For skillful and godly Wisdom is the principal thing.] And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation).” Proverbs 4:7 (AMPC)

There are lots of ways to get lost in life—roads we travel that lead nowhere in particular or nowhere good. Journeys we take, invitations we accept, and choices we make that don’t turn out the way we expected.  

However, there is a way forward, another path mapped out for us without all the pain and pitfalls that caused us to stumble in the first place.  Wisdom will lead us there. The God Who loves you so is all knowing and wise.  In Him questions are answered, secrets are unlocked, future plans defined and clarified. 

You may need wisdom for a situation you are facing right now, something in the future that concerns you, or even something in the past that haunts you still.  We can only know in part and see in part, even about ourselves and therefore we may judge ourselves harshly for things we have done, but wisdom knows the “whys”. 

Wisdom sees the pain behind the pretending and the soft heart behind the hard exterior. Wisdom knows who you really are and speaks to who you are meant to be. Wisdom will teach you how to live now, daily bread answers to your every need, and then lead you in tenderness and love into all that is yet to be!

If you feel you are lacking wisdom today just ask!  This most gracious and giving God of yours will not judge you for the need—He will fill it instead, liberally, joyfully, in multiplied measure, so you can see, as He sees.  Oh beloved one, ask and receive! In doing so, you will understand as never before, and the truth that comes from God alone will set you gloriously free!
