The very first step in getting wisdom is wanting to get the wisdom of God. It’s a matter of life and death. Left to ourselves we’ll pursue perfectionism. We’ll become paralyzed by dishonor and criticism. We’ll become proud in our knowledge and intellectualism. We’ll get wasted in the emptiness of hedonism. Wisdom will draw you to the Creator of wisdom, and the giver of wisdom, and the word of God’s wisdom – which points to the gospel of wisdom.
