Keys to Becoming Wise

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Ps 111:10). It helps when we developed a close relationship with the Lord. More, to follow God's guidance for living should be the first step in moving from unwise to wise.

In the Book of Proverbs King Solomon also affirms that , " the Lord gives wisdom" (Pro 2:6) The key in gaining wisdom, the first involves humility. "With humility comes wisdom" (Pro 11:12) . Solomon also writes about accepting advice and correction: "Wisdom is found in those who take advice" (Pro 13:10) The way we interact with people in our lives provides another key to wisdom. " A wise man's heart guides his mouth" (Pro 16:23)

Lord I definately needs your guidance to unlock the door to wisdom when.......
you see that I am always promoting myself,
I am concerning about elevating myself in the eyes of others,
I aim to determine my own destiny rather than letting God determine it,
I actually tell myself, "I'm humble",
I am not willing to accept advice and criticism from others,
I just casually spouting off with negative words.

Lord I need to place my energy and commitment in you. I need to place my interest and focus back on you. In doing this I can move further toward wisdom.

Blessings....
