“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God,
who gives generously to all without finding fault,
and it will be given to him.”
James 1:5


Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening
when you would have preferred to talk.

Profound and thought-provoking picture and verse, thank you.

Wisdom is a bottom-line of "knowing God", isn't it? And the very "root" of wisdom is the "fear of the Lord", as it is written:

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." ~Pr 9:10

Thank you for this edifying devotion this morning.

God bless you.

Needed and humbling words to one of many. :|

This verse goes hand-in-hand with one of my life verses, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths." Prov 3:5-6 And I even remember it in the ol' KJV which, if you know me, is a tell tale that I memorized long ago.

Thank you so much for that piece of wisdom we, I, so often forget.

Oh lord, please help me to listen more and better, today.

Apparently, very few are asking these days.

The "key" to wisdom of course is found right here in this verse below. Many overlook the very "root" of wisdom, and that is the "fear of the Lord", which means that we bow down before the living God, rejecting our own stubborn wills, and embrace GOD'S will, which requires "humbleness" before God:

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding." ~Pr 9:10
