Proverbs 4:1Hear, O sons, a father’s instruction, and be attentive, that you may gain insight, 2for I give you good precepts; do not forsake my teaching. 3When I was a son with my father, tender, the only one in the sight of my mother, 4he taught me and said to me, "Let your heart hold fast my words; keep my commandments, and live. 5Get wisdom; get insight; do not forget, and do not turn away from the words of my mouth. 6Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you. The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.
8Prize her highly, and she will exalt you; she will honor you if you embrace her. 9She will place on your head a graceful garland; she will bestow on you a beautiful crown."

"Get wisdom." I guess you could say this has been my pursuit the last few weeks. It started, for me, as I was reading through James to prepare for a new teaching series at my home church... Proverbs 1:5 "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." After reading this it hit me...I lack wisdom.

Wisdom to lead, wisdom to make good decisions, wisdom to accomplish the things God has set before me...I lack wisdom. So I ask, and I encourage you to do the same, "God give wisdom."
