The Importance of Wisdom.

"Break my heart for what breaks yours, Everything I am for your Kingdom's cause

I want THIS to me  my  battle cry.  

I read through proverbs this past month, and PROVERBS 2 really stood out to me. 

It talks about the importance of wisdom, the value of Wisdom, and even how to find it. 

Proverbs 2:1-5  1 My son, if you receive my words and treasure up my commandments with you, 2 making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding; 3 yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding, 4 if you seek it like silver and search for it as hidden treasures, 5 then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find that knowledge of God. 

When we seek wisdom we will find it.  In wisdom we find understanding, and when wisdom come into our heart the knowledge will be pleasant to our souls. THE LORD GIVES WIDOM, FROM HIS MOUTH COMES KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING!!! Discretion will watch over us, and understanding will gaurd us delivering you from evil in MANY different aspects. 

(discretion is knowing when you speak and when not to speak, knowing what you say, when to say it, and how to say it, or being careful in situations) 

Proverbs 2:20 You will walk in the way of the good, and keep to the paths of the righteous.

Walking in the way of good and keeping the paths of the righteous, is a way that others will see a difference in Christians and an important way of wisdom.

If we do not have knowledge and understanding of God, we can easily be broken down.

Someone I'm very close to in my life walked with the Lord all throughout highschool, but then they entered college and they were beaten down by those around them because people would throw questions at them, that they couldn't answer.  Or make statements, that they couldn't refute. All of that made them doubt so much, to where their faith was destroyed.  Because they did not have a large knowledge of God. 

The importance of seeking after the Lord with all that we are, giving ourselves completely to him, and growing in knowledge of him is so so so crucial.  

We are called to share the word of the Lord, but it's tough to do that if we don't know it.  

That's why it's so important to spend time in the word.  Receiving God's word is the first things it says to do in this chapter.  In reading God's Word, we gain wisdom. 

To sum it up Wisdom is important in GLORIFYING THE LORD, in growing closer to the Lord in our relationship with Him, and God working through us to save the Lost, and bring knowledge and understanding to them.
