What is the source of wisdom? Where is its wellspring? And how do we attain it? Here’s God’s answer: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.(Proverbs 9:10)
The level of our love for God and His Word determines if we will be wise or not. We either fear and revere Him or we don’t. We either seek His direction or we don’t.
God is wisdom, and God is knowledge. When we look upward to Him and to His Word, and when we desire Him – His wisdom and His ways – then our lives will bear the rare marks of wisdom. We will act with discretion. We will choose to live life according to the callings and the priorities God sets down for us.

I know from personal experience that living a life of prayer is not easy. Our lives are filled with a multitude of activities that tend to crowd out time for prayer. How many times have you been guilty of telling someone that you would pray for them? Your heart genuinely yearned to be a part of bringing their need before the throne of God. And then what happened? I’m sure that, if you’re like me, more times than you would like to admit, you forgot about the promise to pray before you rounded the corner of the church building! Why? Because you didn’t write the request down.
Paul knew the importance of strategic prayer in his own life and the lives of others. And he knew what to pray for. His prayers focused on spiritual issues. He knew that if those he was praying for were spiritually mature, they could handle anything.
