and disclose to you the secrets of wisdom,
~Job 11:5 & 6
Wisdom [wiz-duh m]: knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action.
If I had God's secrets of wisdom, I would always know what to do. I would be able to decide what is right, and I would be able to act on it. No more moral dilemmas, no more indecisive moments... Sounds good, huh? The problem is I don't have God's secrets of wisdom. I only have the amount of wisdom that God built into me, and sometimes that doesn't seem like enough.
The wisest man in the bible is king Solomon. How did he get so wise? He asked for it. He did not pray for a long life, or for wealth, he prayed that God would give him the ability to discern between what is right and what is wrong. So God gave him wisdom.
Through writing this post, my thinking has changed. Instead of wishing I knew God's secrets of wisdom, maybe I can ask God to reveal some of these secrets to me. And wait, another brain wave! I have a very handy book that contains TONS of God's secrets: the bible!
Hmmmmm, I guess I've had the ability to gain more wisdom all along. All it took was a simple blog post to make me realize it.
