Proverbs 2:1-5\u00a0 My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you,\u00a0 \u00a0making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding;\u00a0 \u00a0yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding,\u00a0 \u00a0if you seek it like silver and search for it as for hidden treasures,\u00a0then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

We live in an unprecedented era in which learning, and the acquisition of information have exploded beyond our wildest imagination. The world is virtually at our fingertips or voice command. Yet, we are none the better for our technological advances when it comes to possessing wisdom. Tragically, technology often pulls us downward into a vortex of darkness, and evil.<\/p>\n

In the Hebrew language, the word \u201cwisdom\u201d means the skillful ability to use knowledge. Biblical knowledge, when employed rightly, always results in good for ourselves and others. Notice the high value the Bible places on wisdom. As\u00a0\u201cthe principal thing,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the most important thing, we are to lay siege of godly wisdom and to do everything we can to acquire it. Why? Wisdom deciphers what we should allow into our lives, thereby forming our lifestyles and with it, we gain discernment and clear understanding\u2014something that we often lack on our own.<\/p>\n

In political circles, Democrats and Republicans don\u2019t understand one another nor do husbands and wives in their marriages. In the animal kingdom, most cats and dogs can\u2019t seem to get along either! However large or small our challenges are, we must resist the world\u2019s dark, devilish, dangerous wisdom and instead grab hold of the great counterweight, the opposing force, the wisdom of God.\u00a0\u201c…the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy\u201d<\/em>\u00a0(James 3:17).<\/p>\n

The beautiful reality of God\u2019s wisdom is that it\u2019s best achieved when asked for. That\u2019s right, the Bible tells us to ask God because He promises to grant it liberally (James 1:5). Rest assured; this dark age is no match for God\u2019s wisdom. Give yourself fully to the Lord, my friend, and your life will be the better for it today.
