AWisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding@ (Proverbs 4:7).

The Bible tells us that wisdom is the principal thing and we are instructed to get it, even so, we are also to get understanding. And like every other attribute of God, wisdom and understanding are infinite. We can never get the entire fullness of them but by God=s grace we can receive enough of these qualities to produce greater depths of peace, harmony and direction in our lives.

God is the Source of wisdom and understanding, for the Scriptures tell us that Aby wisdom God founded the earth and by understanding He established the heavens.@ also “if any of us lack wisdom, we are to ask it from God.”

The Scriptures tell us, too, that “the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them because they are spiritually discerned.”

Let us combine wisdom and understanding and give it the term Aspiritual understanding.@ We cannot storm spiritual understanding; we cannot buy, borrow, lease, rent or steal spiritual understanding. It can only come to us by growth in the knowledge of God and the Word, by His Spirit, through Jesus Christ.

Many of us miss the most beautiful part of a meaningful life which is the getting of spiritual understanding, not only concerning the Scriptures but also to understand what is going on in our personal lives and environment, and be able to live in tune with the Spirit of God who will remind us of all things, give us revelation knowledge, and help us to walk in the right places for our benefit.

As we trust in the Lord with all your heart, mind and soul we will learn not to lean on our own understanding but in all our ways to acknowledge God and He will direct our paths. We would then grow into spiritual understanding and will find that it is a very rewarding way of life

Can we build into spiritual understanding? Yes, we can build into spiritual understanding by meditating in the Word, asking God to reveal Himself through His Word to us personally, and praying and watching as God unfolds His truth in us.

Are you seeking guidance and direction in making right choices and decisions? Ask God for His wisdom and understanding and He will direct your paths.
