The Pursuit Of Wisdom
Scripture: Proverbs 4:7 (CSB) – “Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.”
Devotion
Jesus grew in wisdom, and so can we. Wisdom is more than knowledge; it’s the ability to make godly decisions in every circumstance. It begins with a deep reverence for God and flows out into the way we live our lives. Just as Jesus sought to understand His Father’s will, we, too, should seek to align our hearts and minds with God’s wisdom.
Reflection
God, help me seek Your wisdom above all else. Guide my decisions and teach me to trust in Your understanding.
