Wisdom
I, wisdom, live with prudence, and I
attain knowledge and discretion. The fear of the LORD is hatred of evil. Pride
and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. I have good
advice and sound wisdom, I have insight, I have
strength. By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just;
by me rulers rule, and nobles, all who govern rightly. I love those who
love me, and those who seek me diligently find me. Riches and honor are with
me, enduring wealth and prosperity. My fruit is better than gold, even fine
gold, and my yield than choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness,
along the paths of justice, endowing with wealth those who love me, and filling
their treasuries.
We treasure Scripture. It is God’s
inspired Word, and it teaches us the way to abundant life in this world and
eternal life to come. It is the source of a wisdom that goes beyond the wisest
philosophers.
Are we drawing on that source of
wisdom in our own lives? We need Scripture’s wisdom to deal with our personal
problems and political issues. If we study and obey the Bible, we will be able
to humbly testify with the psalmist who knew he had more understanding than all
of his teachers.
is worth more
than all the wisdom
of man.
