“My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding-indeed, if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.” Proverbs 2:1-6

Lord God, Help me to see that true wisdom is found in Christ. Many times I look for wisdom for daily actions, daily steps, next steps, and the way to make good and godly decisions. I look for wisdom to help me get through the day and to get through life in as godly a way as possible. And certainly I know that you give wisdom for this. But wisdom is so much more than that. Help me to see that true wisdom is found in Christ. He is the One who calls me from darkness to light. He is the One who calls me from death to life. He is the One who calls me from this world to an eternity in heaven. He is the One who warns me to stay away from sin so that I might stay close to him and on the right path. He is the one who gives me heavenly blessings and earthly ones too. True wisdom is found only in Christ. Help me to see the gift that Christ is to me. Amen.

Christ is the wisdom of God and he saves us. He doesn’t just guide us to a better and more godly life on earth, he guides us toward heaven. Look for Christ here, there, and everywhere in wisdom of Proverbs. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
