Wisdom cries out in the street; she utters her voice in the markets. [...] whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure from fear of evil.
(Proverbs 1:20,33)
The Bible tells us that wisdom is "the principle thing" (Prov. 4:7) and that it is to be desired and sought after (Prov. 2:4). Wisdom is extremely precious (Prov. 16:16) and there are endless promises in God's Word for those who acquire this treasure.
True wisdom comes from above, it is heavenly and pure, and God wants to bless us with this priceless gift (James 1:5). It may be foolishness to many, but what a blessing to those who understand its worth!
Wherever we are on our faith journey, there is always room to become wiser and none of us can say that they have attained perfect wisdom and understanding. But we continually need to seek this wisdom to enable us to mature and grow in Christ. This is a lifetime endeavour as we fix our eyes on Jesus and desire Him, who is the ultimate Wisdom of God.
