“My son, if you will receive my words and hide my commandments within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom and apply your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding, if you seek her as silver and search for her as for hidden treasures, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding…” Proverbs 2:1-6
God is the source of true wisdom; He gives it to those who seek Him and hear His instruction. Knowledge and understanding come from hearing His words. Thus, true wisdom and understanding come from reading and studying the Bible, which is God’s Word and instruction. “The Holy Scriptures … are able to make you wise unto salvation through the faith that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 3:15).
Grant that I seek Your wisdom, O God, and gain knowledge and understanding through studying Your Word. I ask this in the name of Christ Jesus, my Savior. Amen.
