Theory and Reality

Proverbs 2
If you accept my words...
If you call out for insight...
If you look for it...

Then you will understand the fear of the LORD...
Then you will understand what is right and just...
Then you will walk in the ways of good men...

Romans 7:15
I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.

Wisdom is there for the taking. Solomon laid out the path and the steps we need to take. Accept the words of God, live the teachings of Jesus and we will have wisdom. Call out for insight. Seek wisdom as a treasure hunter would pursue a long lost fortune, go on a quest for wisdom.

Look beyond self, look past personal importance, seek the greater gift to be shared. Then and only then will wisdom be found.

Remember, times and seasons of life come when we won't do the things we know we should do. We will hate what we do, and when that happens:
Accept His words...
Call out...
Search for it...

The we will:
Understand the fear of the LORD
Understand righteousness and justice
Walk with God and good men

When we forget, keep searching, we will find.
