"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."

To be wise. That was King Solomon request when God asked him what he would like to have. I suppose people want to be wise so that they dun made foolish mistakes. And those occasions when I made foolish mistakes, they were the time when I tried to solve problems or made decisions without consulting God and His book of Wisdom. The Bible tells us that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. To fear God is to fear sinning against Him. I think to ask Him for Wisdom is not just pray and then expect the next decision or judgement is wise discernment. It is to pray and then search His word to know what pleases Him and to search my own heart to see if there are foolish ideas or motivation. It is to be still and wait for His timing too.

Lord, I want to be wise so that I can be live constantly in fear of Your Holiness. May I not be foolish to follow the ways of the world or self. Amen.
