"Trust in the Lord completely and do not rely on your own understanding. With all your heart, rely on Him to guide you, and He will lead you in every decision you make. Become intimate with Him in all that you do, and He will direct your paths. Do not assume you know it all; true wisdom comes when you adore Him with undivided devotion and turn away from what is wrong. Then you will find the healing refreshment your body and spirit long for." — Proverbs 3:5-8 (TPT)
Intimacy with GOD is a state to be desired and strived for. We naturally seek closeness to great individuals because of the many benefits they offer. This is why mentors are so highly sought after; they are perceived as wells of knowledge, guiding us through life's complexities to minimize our mistakes.
GOD is the ultimate knower of all things. Many truths remain hidden from human eyes, making it essential to cling to the ONE who possesses all knowledge and wisdom. We all yearn for something higher and better. The Bible assures us that by fostering intimacy with God, He will lead us in our lives.
The next line makes it clear why GOD’s guidance is essential: all wisdom originates from HIM. There is no one on earth whose understanding surpasses that of GOD, for He created everyone. Today, I encourage you to hold fast to the SOURCE of all wisdom. With HIM, everything can be perfected.
It’s crucial to recognize that accepting GOD as your primary advisor requires full devotion—there’s no room for half-heartedness. Follow HIS words to the letter is what produces results. The WISDOM of GOD is revealed through His Word; thus, we must immerse ourselves in Scripture consistently. By doing so, we learn to recognize HIS VOICE, just as we would spend time with earthly mentors to understand their perspectives. The result is a transformation in how we think and perceive the world, enabling us to overcome life’s challenges.
Wisdom is an incredibly powerful virtue. Many pursue knowledge tirelessly, hoping to possess the right words at the right moments to be seen as wise, yet they often fall short of this aspiration. True wisdom transcends mere words; it comes from and resides with GOD. Any wisdom not rooted in HIM cannot be considered ultimate.
Regardless of your educational achievements, I urge you to recognize that there is a depth of understanding beyond human knowledge—it is found solely in GOD! Do not presume that you have all the answers. The complexities of our world and creation serve as evidence that superior wisdom exists beyond human comprehension.
“The Lord by wisdom founded the earth; by understanding he established the heavens; by his knowledge the deeps broke open, and the clouds drop down the dew.”
Proverbs 3:19-20 ESV
As you read His Word, pray for divine insight. Ask GOD to open your eyes so that you may see and understand HIS teachings fully. it is profitable to direct even as HE knows that way you must take for a successful life!
"Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law." — Psalm 119:18
