A Prayer to Be Wise By Emma Danzey Proverbs 16:16 says, "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver!" When King Solomon could ask for whatever he wanted from God, he chose wisdom. 1 Kings 3:8 says, "The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this." The Lord delighted in giving Solomon wisdom. He was pleased with this question, and I believe that God is still pleased when we ask Him for wisdom today. One of the best prayers that we can pray is the same as Solomon's. We too can ask God for wisdom. The amazing thing about living after Jesus' resurrection is that we have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit. God's Spirit Himself lives inside of us. We have full access to His wisdom if we would just seek the Spirit over our flesh. Wisdom is better than everything that this world has to offer because it is knowledge applied. When this is Biblical knowledge, Christ-like knowledge, this is not only influential but life-changing. |
