Proverbs 2:1,3-6
"My child, listen to what I say, and treasure my commands. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.
Then, you will understand the fear of the LORD, and you will find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding."
When was the last time that I honestly searched for God’s wisdom like it was a million dollars?
Does the need to cry out for insight somehow stop when I think I have all of the answers? Do I understand what is means to truly fear the Lord and not just blow him off in my hurried oh-so-important daily life? When was the last time that I STOPPED--Because I was afraid to disobey Him, not because I was afraid of what other Christians would think. If I think I'm wise, but I haven't sought God, where is my 'wisdom' really coming from?
There is more to wisdom than quoting verses and knowing theology, and talking incessantly about God and how you submit to his way. Wisdom is not talk. It is not memorized. It can not be successfully faked.
Listen. Treasure. Cry. Ask. Seek.
Understand.
Oh you foolish, foolish girl...
It has been far longer than it should be.
