Seek Understanding!
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who have understanding, so they can be even more discerning. In Jesus’ name, amen.
There is an interesting juxtaposition in Proverbs 28:11 (ESV).
One man is rich and claims to be wise. Another man is poor and has understanding. Who has the advantage between these two?
Logic would seem to say the rich man who claims to be wise would have the upper hand. But King Solomon puts things into perspective.
“A rich man is wise in his own eyes,
but a poor man who has understanding will find him out.”
It seems the man with money who claims to be wise is no match for the poor person with understanding.
Don’t be deceived by what might seem obvious. Do you seek true wisdom, or are you wise in your own eyes? Believers can develop true wisdom and understanding by reading Scripture and listening to the Holy Spirit.
