Chasing wisdom

I marvel at the intelligence of people. You could say envy but that’s a sin so I’m gonna say marvel. I’ve never considered myself a smart man. I like to observe people and when I hear them speak about things or see what they do I’m like wow! How did they come up with that?? It used to bother me because I wanted to be like that, but as I’ve aged I have come to realize there are different kinds of “smart”. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’m not going to design the next big thing or rule a nation and I’m good with it. I’m simple! It’s okay. Maybe some of you are too. If you think so then listen to this. Psalm 19:7 says, the instructions of the Lord are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. I love God’s word!! There’s hope for anyone who reads it!! Did you hear that last line? It makes wise the simple!! That means that we don’t have to be in the top of the most intelligent to gain wisdom. And the wisdom it’s talking about here isn’t given to us by another human beings idea of what’s wise. It’s God’s wisdom!! Isn’t that exciting!! It’s for everyone who seeks it from his word!! Even simple folks like me. Now there are some who think they already have all the wisdom they need. I hope I never get to that place! Seeking wisdom from the most intelligent being to ever exist, our Creator, is a treasure hunt for a lifetime. There’s no finish line. You don’t get to a point where you know it all. Would you want to? The joy of life is in the chase! What are you chasing after? Is it man’s idea of wisdom? Or God’s? As for me, I’m chasing God’s wisdom! Thank you Lord for your word. Thank you for giving us wisdom as we explore the pages of your great book!!
May God’s word richly bless you with all kinds of wisdom!!
