Proverbs 4:7 (KJV)
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
Reflection:
Wisdom is foundational—“the principal thing,” as Proverbs declares. True wisdom cannot be found in fleeting human philosophies but only on the lips of God. It requires a lifetime of pursuit. This pursuit involves meditation on His Word and spending time in His presence. It also demands complete surrender to Yahweh, the Almighty. We are called to gain wisdom with all our efforts. We must also seek understanding. Wisdom without understanding lacks depth and power.
Throughout history, even the greatest men—those celebrated for their influence—have often credited their enlightenment to a higher power. But why settle for the reflections of human wisdom when the source is available to us directly? My God is Yahweh, and His wisdom flows freely to those who ask. James 1:5 reminds us: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally.”
Consider Yeshua, the Son of God, condemned by sinful men. Human wisdom, corrupted by pride and sin, led to His agonizing death. For a moment, evil seemed victorious as righteousness was overpowered—or so it seemed. But on the third day, Yeshua rose from the grave, declaring victory over sin and death. The wisdom of God triumphed over the folly of men. “O death, where is thy sting?” (1 Corinthians 15:55).
The pursuit of God’s wisdom is the pursuit of life itself. It is through His rivers of living water that our spirits are refreshed and our paths made clear. Why seek after men’s wisdom when Yahweh has already shown us the true path to enlightenment?
Prayer:
Lord, You are the source of all wisdom and understanding. Fill my heart with Your truth and guide my steps according to Your Word. Help me to meditate on Your ways, surrender to Your Spirit, and drink deeply from the rivers of living water. Let Your wisdom flow through me, and may I reflect Your light to those around me. Thank You for Yeshua, whose victory over sin and death gives me eternal hope. To You be all glory and honor, forever and ever. In Jesus’ Holy name, Amen.
