Wisdom

I've always wondering why King Solomon asked for Wisdom.

He had faith God gives true wisdom, which if it wasn't true, it would not be valuable.

Every day people tell us they want to have a closer relationship with God. They see and understand that people who do, have a better life in every single aspect of their life.

But, for some reason, they don't want to work for it.

It's like a winner.

A winner will always work for it, but a loser with not.

Why is that? What does the winner have that the loser does not?

The loser can't get out of bed, but the winner doesn't even want to stay in bed.

They have Wisdom.

Wisdom that tells them that nothing changes if you don't do anything.

Wisdom that tells them what is true, and what is not.

Wisdom that tells of what is important and what is not.

Wisdom is valuable because it not easy to get, as is a relationship with God.

The Holy Ghost gives us wisdom. As we grow closer to God, He trusts us to think as He would think and to do as He would do.

So next time you have a good thought, a thought that stretches you out of your comfort zone and is good. Do it!

The first step is hard for a reason, that's how we grow, that’s how we gain wisdom.

Next time you're going through something hard, remember you are growing. Next time you have a good thought, that leads to a good action, feel peace and know that Jesus Christ is becoming apart of your nature and you are receiving wisdom.

Every step brings you closer, and is easier.

Proverbs 19:8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: he that keepeth understanding shall find good.
