Out of His abundance, God will supply what we are lacking, if we ask. It’s important to see that God doesn’t just bestow wisdom upon us automatically. Not every walking around today is living in the wisdom of God.


Main Points:

1. It is this deep awe, reverence, and respect for God and His Word that leads us to pay attention to His Word. We begin to listen and to obey the Word. We value God’s Word over our own thoughts and intuition. 


2. The Lord says we should seek for God’s wisdom like a person seeking for a hidden treasure. If we do, we’ll find it. God will bless us with His wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. 


3. It’s likely you are facing something today in which you need God’s wisdom. Is there a decision to be made? Are you facing a family crisis, a challenge at work, or a choice about your future? Ask God to help you like in the fear of the Lord. It’s here that we become open to the wisdom of God.


Today’s Scripture Verses:

“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—indeed, 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; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

Proverbs 1:7 - “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge.”

James 1:5 - “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.”
