Wisdom is a Precious Jewel

Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

That's wisdom in a nutshell. Wisdom should be a characteristic of every believer. If one lacks wisdom, God is the only one who can give it. God will never lie to you. He will never steer was wrong; in other words, He's got all the other bases covered.

Wisdom is definitely a precious jewel. Wisdom will not only make you rich, it will take you places that money cannot even take you. Wisdom is not to be taken lightly. It is valuable, but it has no price. Wisdom will make us stronger. There are many perils to not having wisdom. These perils are from Romans 1:21-32
"21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened."

Having a lack of wisdom will take one down a long road. Do not allow yourself to be deceived, for real wisdom is about truth. The truth does "make one free" (John 8:36). There is peace with having wisdom. The peace knowing that one has the truth on their side. The real price of wisdom is best described by Job in chapter 28:
"12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
14 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?"

If you lack the true wisdom with truly knowing Jesus Christ as you Savior, I ask that you please pray this prayer:
"Heavenly Father, I desire wisdom and I now know that wisdom comes from being born-again. Lord Jesus, I ask that you save me. Forgive me of all my sins. I confess you as Savior and Lord and I thank you for saving me. In Jesus' name, Amen."
