Get Wisdom And To Gain Understanding

 This short, simple little verse instructs us to "get wisdom and to gain understanding." We are to acquire wisdom and to develop good judgement, but we must be aware that there are two sorts of wisdom after which a believer can follow – the wisdom of man, which is folly in the eyes of the Lord, and the wisdom of God, which makes for godly living and a life that is pleasing to Him.
 But the verse also warns us that having gained wisdom and knowledge, we must beware not to turn aside from the truth or stray from the godly path of righteousness.
 Christ is the wisdom of God, and He is also the power of God. When we gain Christ, we are walking in the way of truth and life and hope and peace. 
 To learn of the unsearchable wisdom and knowledge of Christ should be our life-time desire, and we should seek Him with our whole being. Never let us become so familiar with Christ that we lose the desire to know Him more, to turn our backs from Him, or to wander from the Way of wisdom and understanding – Whom to know is life eternal.
Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn away from them.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we long to know the Lord Jesus more and more, in Him are all the riches of Your wisdom. Develop in us an insatiable desire to know Jesus more and more. In His name we pray, AMEN.
