—Proverbs 3:13-18
by: Angie Osborn.
For some reason, when I think of wisdom, I tend to picture a knowledgeable old man, complete with a long, white beard, a robe, and a giant book. In this passage, however, we see wisdom pictured much differently. It is not merely being intellectual or smart. To the Christian, wisdom is the ability to make godly choices. Biblical wisdom comes only from God; it comes only through a faith relationship with Jesus Christ and its goal is to glorify God. Seeking wisdom, then, becomes not a pursuit of knowledge, but a pursuit of faith. We should continuously be seeking wisdom in all that we do and as we do that, our lives will be filled with the abundance that can only come from our Heavenly Father.
