How To Get Divine Wisdom

Do you desire to have the wisdom of God? It is a great desire to have divine wisdom that will help you live successfully on earth. The good news is that the Lord is ready to give it to you freely, generously and without finding fault. This post tells you how to get God's wisdom.

The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding - Proverbs 9:10 (NKJV).

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him - James 1:5 (NKJV).

Many Christians think that it's not easy to get anything from God and this includes divine wisdom. However, God said we should just ask in faith and we will receive whatsoever we desire. It is God's will that you walk in wisdom and so is ever ready to give it to whoever asks for it or positions himself or herself for it.

How to receive divine wisdom

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Proverbs 9:10). It positions you to receive God's wisdom. It makes you accountable to God and so checks what you say, do and where you go. It was the fear of God that made Joseph to flee from Potiphar's wife and her request (Genesis 39:7-12, Genesis 42:18). He acted in wisdom.
