'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.' Proverbs 9:10
From now on, I will steal time out of my schedule to read continually from the book of Proverbs; that I will drink regularly from its clear refreshing waters; that I will lie on your bed at night and mediate on its great themes; and that i will swear by the grace of God to put is powerful principles into practice every day.
Remember, do not seek wisdom for its own sake. Seek it so that you might more effectively represent Jesus Christ. If you still do not know Jesus Christ, then bow your head this very moment, repent of every sin you have committed and quietly surrender your heart and life into His hands. Committing your way to God is the beginning of wisdom; continual trust in Him will see it develop and grow.
Father, please grant me this wisdom, not so that I might have an advantage over others, nor to fulfil selfish needs, nor even to advance my fortunes. I seek it that I might know You better, love You more, and do Your perfect will. Amen.
