Ask For Wisdom Sample

Wisdom Is The Principal Thing.

“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Proverbs‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Wisdom is the principal thing. The New Living Translation expounds upon Proverbs‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭NLT‬‬ in the following manner, “Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.”

Get Wisdom. Get good and sound judgment. Seek God. Surrender to His Counsel. Ask God for Wisdom for every aspect of your life.

The Amplified Version puts it this way, “The beginning of Wisdom is: get Wisdom (skillful and godly Wisdom)! [For skillful and godly Wisdom is the principal thing.] And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation).” Proverbs‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭AMPC‬‬. And with all you have gotten, get understanding.

Let the Wisdom of God lead your decisions. Let His Wisdom guide your thoughts. Let His Wisdom frame every aspect of your life. For Wisdom is the foundation and principal thing.

According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for, “Principal” is, ‘re'shiyth’ (H7225) which means, “First, beginning, best, chief, choice part.” May Wisdom serve as the beginning and choice part of your life.

May every area of your life honor God. Choose to put God first. May He serve as the Principal and Chief Cornerstone of your life.
