“Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom though it cost all you have.” There is an investment that God is calling us to make here, an investment in wisdom, and there is no point at which the extent of our investment exceeds the worth of what we gain. People give everything to attain what they believe will fill the place in their hearts that only wisdom can fill. Some put their lives on the line to climb mountains and cross seas. Others seek security in remaining within the confines of what is familiar. There is, in wisdom, both the adventure and security of both extremes. Wisdom will guide you into new experiences and will give you an assurance in life that you could never attain in the most secure financial investments. It is clear though that there is a cost to wisdom. It is not that we must earn it. It is offered to us for free and yet it must be sought like hidden treasure. It must become our chief pursuit for it will only come to those who know its supreme worth. It won’t be a sideline interest. It won’t lower itself to become a mere tool for success. It will only come to those who desire it above all else. It is the voice of God in our hearts and therefore it commands our absolute attention and allegiance. If you want wisdom, you can have it. But you must realise that you are not asking for something to have in your grasp but for something which must have you in its grasp.
Pray again for God to give you wisdom.
