The Bible
portrays wisdom as something that doesn’t come easily. To have wisdom implies
many struggles but with understanding. It’s when we don’t understand why things
are working a certain way that we are faced with the journey toward
wisdom.
Proverbs
22:17-19 - 17 Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply
your heart to what I teach, 18 for it is pleasing when you keep them in your
heart and have all of them ready on your lips. 19 So that your trust may be in
the Lord, I am teaching you today, yes you.
Proverbs
22:17-19 (TLB) Listen to this wise advice; follow it closely, for it will do
you good, and you can pass it on to others: Trust in the Lord.
Psalm
119:18 (CEV) Open my mind and let me discover the wonders of your Law.
Proverbs
2:1-5 (NIV) 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.
You
need to - Open your mind to knowledge, turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your
heart to understanding. Amen?
