📖 "Wisdom is the most important thing; so get wisdom [The beginning of wisdom is: Get/Acquire wisdom]. If it costs everything you have [ Above all your acquisitions], get [acquire] understanding. Treasure wisdom [Highly esteem her], and it [or she] will ·make you great [exalt you]; hold on to it [or embrace her], and it [or she] will bring you honor.” -Proverbs 4:7-8 Expanded Bible
Wisdom is so important. King Solomon wrote about it being “the most important thing”. He understood the importance of wisdom to the extent that even if it costs a man or woman everything, they must acquire it and make that sacrifice. His reasoning was that wisdom will exalt us and bring us honor among other things. He would have known this firsthand. When God asked him what He wanted from Him, Solomon didn’t ask for riches, long life, or the lives of his enemies, he simply asked for wisdom and knowledge so that he would be able to judge the people. God was so impressed with Solomon’s request that He gave him what he asked for and the things that he did not ask for. God made him wealthy and gave him rest from all of Israel’s enemies. We have access to God’s wisdom. I Corinthians 1:30 tells us that Jesus has been made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. We don’t have to be without wisdom. James said that if you need wisdom, to simply ask for it. So, we are without excuse. We will always receive when we ask in faith.
