yearning for wisdom

 Get wisdom! Get understanding! Do not forget, nor turn away from the words of my mouth.           Proverbs 4:5
                                                 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.            Proverbs 4:7  


 How much better to get wisdom than gold! And to get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver.         Proverbs 16:16        
                                                            If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.              James 1:5
                                                        


   If any one needs wisdom it is us mothers busily keeping up with our children and all the issues that arise every day all day!! If your a mom with little ones, ya' know what I mean . Some days are way more crazy than others though.  
 So we need lots of good godly wisdom to successfully handle it all right?!!


  And by the above verses it sounds like it is a very great thing to have for certain sure, better than gold in fact! Wow, you can't get better than that can you?!


 And by James 1:5 it does seems easy enough to come by. If any of you lack wisdom, just ask God!
  Yes, all we have to do is yearn,  desire, and seek after wisdom, earnestly praying and crying out to God for it, and our Heavenly Farther who holds all wisdom will gives us liberally what we need. He is just waiting for us to ask.
  We wants us to seek and desire His wisdom and not the world's wisdom. We can find out what God thinks of the world's wisdom when we read
 1 Corinthians 1:19 " For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "He catches the wise in their own craftiness";    


   I love to start my day with a prayer for the Lord to help me get through the day while I am yet lying in bed, and  I prayer for wisdom for that day to handle all the issues that will arise. And also I pray in the middle of a situation for His help in how to handle it.  Try it, it works!! And it will calm you down too when you take a breather and stop and pray!
  So yearn for wisdom, and God will fill you up. Seek after Him, and He will direct your paths. 


In Him,
Mae
