So far too often studying God's word becomes a nice option, a nice option that ends up at the very bottom of our list of things to do. The questions from Proverbs come back to haunt us. First, we must realize wisdom is beyond us. Wisdom comes from above. The second thing the Bible teaches us this morning is that wisdom is available.
Wisdom is available.
Wisdom is available, genuinely, to you and to me. Wisdom comes from God's voice and God's direction. There are promises in this morning's lesson. James Newsome, the Old Testament scholar, puts it this way. The gracious God has placed at the disposal of men and women the ability to understand who God wants them to be and what God wants them to do.
