"I, wisdom, called you so often, but you would not come. I reached out to you, but you paid no attention. You ignored my advice and rejected my corrections."
When you look back at the decisions that you have made, have they been wise? Did your immediate satisfaction overrule long term decisions that would have been wiser? Is your motto, what about me, what about my needs? Have you discovered that this attitude leads to the worst possible decisions for your life? Those who do not put the Lord first in everything are the last to hear and understand the One Truth Today. Wisdom, from the Lord calls us so often and yet so many will not come. The Lord reaches out to us with His Word and yet so many pay no attention. The advice of the Lord is true and faithful and yet so many reject and ignore His corrections!
The beginning of wisdom is the Fear of God. To know, love and fear God is the prerequisite to all wisdom. The Lord and His Word tell us to get many counselors before we make any big decision for our life. It is prudent to not only seek the Lord's Word and teachings, but it is also a good idea to get the advice of Godly people. Choose those who have shown in the past that they are correct and being led by God. If you receive bad advice that has proven wrong in the past there would be no reason to seek that advice again, so avoid those who have misled you in the past. In fact the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over, expecting a different result. The Lord Jesus Christ and His Word never give bad advice and are always the truth. If you are looking for wisdom in your life, seek God.
There is no source better than the Word of God. We must make it a habit to always go to the Lord first in everything we do. God fearing people have discernment and can also give wise counsel. Wisdom calls out to us, are you listening and did you come? When wisdom reached out to you did you pay attention? When you had events that showed rejection and correction of you decisions in the past did you just ignore them? Start by getting the first thing, first. Make God the center of your life and learn to fear, know and love Him. SEEK WISDOM, and she will be found!
