Look to Gain Wisdom – Proverbs 4:7

2 mins read

Have you ever stopped to ponder the true essence of wisdom and its paramount importance in our lives? In a world overflowing with information, it’s easy to get lost in the sea of knowledge. Yet, nestled within the pages of the Bible, we find a profound revelation:

Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding.

โ€” Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV)

So, why is wisdom declared as the principal thing, and how does it lead us to a profound understanding of the world around us? Let’s explore this concept.

“Wisdom is the principal thing.” This declaration is like a clarion call, emphasizing the central role that wisdom plays in our lives. It’s not an optional add-on; it’s the very foundation upon which our choices, actions, and understanding are built. Without wisdom, our endeavors are built on shaky ground.

“Therefore, get wisdom.” This directive urges us to actively seek wisdom as a primary pursuit. It’s not a passive process. We must engage in the deliberate cultivation of wisdom. This means studying, learning from our experiences, seeking advice from the wise, and continually striving to improve our understanding.

“And in all your getting, get understanding.” Wisdom isn’t merely about acquiring facts or knowledge. We are to be about gaining a deep understanding of the world and our place in it. It’s the ability to discern right from wrong, to navigate life’s challenges with grace, and to see beyond the surface of things.

Our Guiding Star

So, how do we apply this theological concept in our daily lives? We do so by making wisdom our guiding star. After all, Jesus is the personification of God’s wisdom. When we seek wisdom, we are really seeking Jesus, whether we realize it or not. We do well to seek Him and His widom in our decisions, relationships, and endeavors. We recognize that true understanding is born from wisdom, and we approach life with humility and a hunger for knowledge.

In a world that often values quick fixes and superficial knowledge, remember that wisdom is the principal thing. It’s the compass that guides us towards a deeper, more profound understanding of the complexities of life. So, let’s embark on a lifelong journey to acquire wisdom, for in doing so, we unlock the doors to true enlightenment and meaningful living.

Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is the PRINCIPAL thing. Always look to gain more wisdom with the goal of coming to a point of truly understanding things.
