Today I fasted and prayed for a friend who was seeking wisdom from God. Wisdom can be defined as "the ability to know and to do the right thing." I decided to read some of Proverbs since it was written by the wisest man in the world, King Solomon. Proverbs 2:1-6 says "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. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." I realized, after reading this, that wisdom is not something that I passively sit around and wait to have bestowed upon me but requires me to play an active role! May we all be on an exciting search for wisdom!
