Wanting to understand has been a lifetime desire of mine. I always wanted to understand how things worked. I would take things apart just to see. Sometimes I couldn’t put them back together again. My quest for knowledge has never waned. I am driven by this quest as much as when I was young. Wisdom is a combination of knowledge/understanding and experience. With the wisdom comes a different prospective. You see things as they are, not as you want them to be. As I read of the stories of Solomon and his wisdom. I knew that I wanted this kind of wisdom. Solomon asked for wisdom from God. God gave him wisdom and extreme amount of wealth. When I asked God for wisdom like Solomon, He gave me the wisdom of the ages. God also gave me another gift, He said my words wouldn’t fall to the ground but accomplish where I sent them to do. For a long time, I didn’t speak much. I have only written this blog because God wanted me to. Solomon said this about wisdom, it brings grief and sorrow. Understanding a situation and seeing what is really there, brings sorrow. He wrote this at the end of his life in Ecclesiastes. It is one of the reasons that God doesn’t tell us everything in advance. These gifts were given to me to help in my ministry of prayer. And to be able to speak to people about situations in their lives. I have seen the beginning and the end and understand God’s purpose. And all I want to do is cry, because I know how it all ends. Never be afraid to ask God for wisdom in your circumstance. God will give it freely to any of his children. Wisdom is needed to live our lives according to God’s will. So just ask.
