Hello beautiful ones!

Colossians 2:3 says,

  • In whom are HIDDEN all the treasures of WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE.

I would like to encourage you today on 2 lines.  First, I’d like to search the Scriptures and show you how to find wisdom and knowledge and why it’s so  important to have them and secondly, why are they hidden?

Proverbs 2:1-6 says,

  • My son, if you receive my words,
  • And treasure my commands within you,
  • 2 So that you incline your ear to WISDOM,
  • And apply your heart to UNDERSTANDING;
  • 3 Yes, if you cry out for discernment,
  • And lift up your voice for UNDERSTANDING,
  • 4 If you seek her as silver,
  • And search for her as for hidden treasures;
  • 5 THEN you will UNDERSTAND the fear of the Lord,
  • And find the KNOWLEDGE of God.
  • 6 For the Lord gives WISDOM;
  • From His mouth come KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING
  • 7 He stores up sound WISDOM for the upright…

Whoa, family!  The way we find WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING is by:

  1. Receiving His Words
  2. Treasuring His commands 
  3. Inclining your heart
  4. Applying your heart
  5. Crying out
  6. Lifting up your voice
  7. Seeking
  8. Searching

This doesn’t sound to me like a casual thing.  What do you think?  Does it sound like something we just do for an hour on a Sunday morning, or does it sound like something we should be doing with our lives?  Believe it or not, the ONLY way we can UNDERSTAND the fear of the Lord and find the KNOWLEDGE of God is by following the 8 precepts above.

Next, the reason why it’s so important to have God’s WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING is because it’s the principle thing (Proverbs 4:11).

As a matter of fact, Proverbs 8:11 says,

  • …for WISDOM is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.  WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING are hidden because God wants you to SEEK Him.  

SEEKING HIM means:

  1. Eagerly pursue
  2. Acquire
  3. Aim and strive after
  4. Make it your aim and great quest 
  5. Earnestly desire and cultivate

I am praying for you today that God will reveal these things to you in a deeper way than you’ve ever know before.  HE IS OUR LIFE!

Serving Him with all my heart,

Lisa Gordon
