True Wisdom

Do you desire wisdom and understanding? What kind of things are you doing to attain it? The bible says that wisdom can only come from God, for God is an omniscient God and after all He was the one that created the world and each one of us. God's ways are much higher than us, we just cannot understand it.

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways," says the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts." - Isaiah 55:8-9

So how can we attain wisdom? By revering and fearing God, and obeying His commands.

"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments. His praise endures forever." - Psalm 111:10

God is not a stingy God, He will give willingly. He wants to give, but whether you want to receive it is another thing.

"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
