Wisdom is supreme—acquire wisdom! With all your acquisitions, get understanding. Proverbs 4:7, TLV

It’s All About Relationship!     Wisdom is supreme? Why? Because wisdom begins with GOD. His willingness to share secrets of the universe — which He created, by the way — with mere humans. Made of dirt.

“The fear of ADONAI [the LORD] is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline.” Proverbs 1:7, TLV

That’s where we begin to understand the wonder of our Heavenly Father.

From there, we can acquire this wisdom with our investment in reading, studying, and living His word. Why do we do this? Is this how we earn wisdom? Not in the sense of this world’s understanding. You know, that formulaic approach of: If I do this, then God will bless and prosper me.

No. This was and always will be about relationship. That clumsy, messy, amazing thing we call love.

What Do I Mean by Relationship

When I first realized that Bob could be more than friends, that all this time he was a treasure I hadn’t realized, all I wanted to do was spend time with him. If we weren’t together, we would have been talking on the phone. No cells back then either. It was one line for a family of seven in my childhood home. If I couldn’t talk with him, the longing would show itself.

Today, nearly 50 years later, I still learn new things about him all the time. And he knows me like no other human being.

That’s just a tip of the type of relationship I’m talking about. With our investment, we learn and live by our Father’s word because we love Him and are grateful above all else. We understand what is important to Him. All the other benefits of His love are fudge icing on brownies.

This world needs that type of love, don’t you think? Everyone hungry for true love will be drawn to Him through us. We can be vessels of His Light and love. How amazing is that!

Think More About It

What does your relationship with our Father look like? How has wisdom been included in it?

Until tomorrow, may we acquire wisdom with all we have, my friends.

Thank you for your prayers, my friends. Please, as the LORD leads continue them. Rockets continue to fly into populated areas where families and schools are located. Likewise pray for wisdom for the IDF that they can minimize and eliminate casualties in Gaza. God bless you.
