Why should we get wisdom?

Wisdom is the principal thing;

Therefore get wisdom.

And in all your getting, get understanding.

Proverbs 4:7

 

Our scripture above tells that wisdom is the principal thing therefore we should get wisdom and with all our getting we must get understanding. Why should we get wisdom?

1, Wisdom will promote you

Wisdom will promote you because it will help you to know what to say and how to behave in every situation you may find yourself in which will ultimately lead to your promotion. For example, Daniel was promoted because he had more wisdom than all the wise men of Babylon and as a result he was promoted to a place of honour:

Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many generous gifts. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel 2:48 (HCSB)

2, Wisdom will bring you honour

Having wisdom brings you to a place of honour where you are highly esteemed because of the wisdom that you possess. For example, because of the wisdom that Joseph had in being able to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams, he too was promoted and brought to a place of great honour:

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are. You will be in charge of my court, and all my people will take orders from you. Only I, sitting on my throne, will have a rank higher than yours.”

Genesis 41:39-40 (NLT)

3, Wisdom will give you grace and glory

When you are a person of wisdom, you are shown kindness and honour which others are not privileged to experience. This is because wisdom comes from God and when you fear Him, He will ensure that you are given divine grace and glory:

She will place on your head an ornament of grace;

A crown of glory she will deliver to you.”

Proverbs 4:9

Prayer

Dear Lord, please help me to get wisdom and with all my getting give me understanding in Jesus name, amen.
