The principal thing.

"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." Proverbs 4:7

Our opening scripture shows us that wisdom is the principal thing. This means that wisdom is the most important thing you can get in life. Why is this so? It is because of what wisdom will do for you. The Bible says in Proverbs 4:8-9(BBE), "… you will be lifted up by her; she will give you honour, when you give her your love. She will put a crown of grace on your head, giving you a head-dress of glory."

Wisdom will put a crown of grace on your head. Therefore, because of that crown of grace, everywhere you go, people will just want to favour you. So go for wisdom, because when wisdom is at work in your life, you will not need to pray for favour. For instance, if I pour water on you, you don't need to pray to be wet. So, instead of praying to be wet, what you need is to get the water to be poured on you. In the same way, instead of praying for favour, what you need to ask for is wisdom because if you have wisdom, you will have favour.

Therefore I will like you to practise what the Bible says in James 1:5-7(AMP), "If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally and ungrudgingly, without reproaching or faultfinding, and it will be given him. Only it must be in faith that he asks with no wavering (no hesitating, no doubting). For the one who wavers (hesitates, doubts) is like the billowing surge out at sea that is blown hither and thither and tossed by the wind. For truly, let not such a person imagine that he will receive anything [he asks for] from the Lord,"

Prayer.

Dear Father, I ask for wisdom today and I believe I receive the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you in Jesus Name. Thank you Father.
