Proverbs 3:15 Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. v.16 She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches in her left. v.17 She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying.
I worked for many years in a Jewellers office where I dealt with precious stones including rubies on a daily basis. I saw them highly polished sometimes surrounded by diamonds and although they're worth a lot of money they'll never be worth as much as wisdom!
Wisdom is the most amazing thing you could ever ask for. Scripture tells us it's the principal thing and to seek it above everything else. (Proverbs 4:7) Proverbs tell us the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 1:7) that whoever listens to wisdom will dwell safely, and will be secure without fear of evil (Proverbs 1:33) Wisdom will promote you, bring you honour, give you a crown of glory. Those who love wisdom will inherit wealth, and wisdom will fill their treasuries. (Proverbs 8:21).
Try reading a bit of the book of Proverbs every day, it's full of information on wisdom and what it will do for us all.
When I had my firstborn I felt totally overwhelmed with the responsibility and my own ignorance. I'd never held a baby, knew nothing about them, both our mums had passed away so we had no one close to ask for guidance. It literally brought me to my knees and the cry of my heart was always "God give me wisdom, help me know what to do."
It has been a constant prayer ever since because whatever season we're in, we wont have walked it before, so we need God's wisdom to navigate it.
James 1:5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. v.6 But when you ask Him be sure your faith is in God alone.....
1 Corinthians 1:30 God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself... I just wanted to finish with this verse to encourage us all because it reminds us we are actually united to wisdom Himself because we are united with Christ Jesus. We need never lack wisdom ever again. It's available to all of us and brings amazing rewards. Thank You Jesus.
So Lord as we start this new week with You, we ask You for Your wisdom and thank You for it, in faith, in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
