Get Wisdom

Wisdom is an undervalued and much needed virtue in our day. God's answer to this great need is the book of Proverbs. Proverbs is all about wisdom. We often realize our need for wisdom when we are in a bind - a perplexing situation, a deep trial - and cry out to God, "Lord, give me wisdom." That's not wrong. However, as followers of Christ, we should have a dogged determination to grow in wisdom day by day, or as Paul says, "walk... as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil" (Ephesians 5:15-16). As we make our way through portions of Proverbs, the goal is to gain the resources we need to walk in wisdom, because the days are evil.
