The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding.
This psalm is a father's instruction to his son.
Thoughts for the day...
This verse really has me going, because I have no idea what it means as I read it. I wonder if that's the point? Do I not have the wisdom yet to understand what God is trying to tell me? I cannot have wisdom if I don't understand something first. So maybe that is what God is saying in this verse, that before I can be wise, I must understand what it is I'm supposed to be wise about. So, maybe I get it after all. Sometimes, some of God's Word just seems too simple, so I feel like I must not be getting something. The wordiness of this verse just confused me. Does anyone have any thoughts about this verse or the entire psalm?
My Prayer
Father, it's on days like today that I'm glad You have told us to lean not on our own understanding, because sometimes, I just don't understand. I'm leaning on You, Father, to speak to me throughout the day today, telling me what it is You're trying to teach me through Your Word.
