Arise and Abide

The Lord Grants Wisdom


Listen Later

In this episode of Arise+Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on Proverbs 2 and the treasure of godly wisdom. Solomon's words invite us to tune our ears to wisdom, cry out for understanding, and seek insight like hidden treasure. Together, they explore what it means to admit that we do not already know the right way and why true wisdom must be received from God rather than assumed from ourselves.

Curtis highlights the deliberate choice to silence the many competing voices around us and listen for the voice of wisdom. The conversation connects this pursuit to humanity's original deception in the garden—the false belief that we can define right and wrong apart from God. Sally expands on the beautiful imagery of wisdom as God's gift: a treasure, a shield, and a guide that protects us from twisted voices, destructive paths, and poor decisions.

Drawing from both personal experience and workplace leadership lessons, they discuss how easily we can become too invested in the wrong direction, making repentance difficult. Yet God, in His grace, continually calls us back to the path of truth. The discussion also beautifully ties Solomon's promised land imagery to Jesus as the true vine, reminding us that remaining rooted in Him is where wisdom, fruitfulness, peace, and joy are found.

If you are seeking clarity, direction, or peace in the midst of competing voices, this conversation is an encouragement to ask God for wisdom, trusting that He gives generously to all who ask.
