 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: He that accept understanding shall find good' (Proverbs 19:8).

The wisdom from God  brings peace and prosperity to one's life, and is freely offered to all by God.
When we ask God for wisdom, He will grant it unto us. He said that if any man lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...and it shall be given him (James 1:5).
In getting wisdom we love our own soul, but if we reject the offer of wisdom it is to love death.
We are told to love wisdom: and with all our getting, get understanding (Prov 4:7).
King Solomon the wisest man described wisdom as, "...More precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her"
Proverbs 3:15).
In getting wisdom we need to humble ourselves and fear God.
Dedicated yourself to learning and God will grant you the power of right judgment. That is, knowing what you can do in any situation that arises.
Let us seek to also accept understanding by hiding God's Word in our hearts, apply it to every situation and consistently meditate upon it.
Each of us who is in Christ, need a wise and understanding heart, like King Solomon.  A heart to know and fear God; to keep His written Words and apply them to our everyday life. A heart that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit dwell in.
Let us prepare our minds and be desirous of getting wisdom. In having a heart that knows and fear God, takes consistent prayer. We must pray for and claim it, by utilising every means to accomplish it. We must strive to hold fast to the instructions of God and keep it, that we can find good. Let us be committed and intentional as we abide by the doctrines of the Gospel of Christ and not depart from it.
Let our life be in Christ, that we can experience His peace and love; to receive joy and comfort in this world of sin.
We must endeavour to look forward to the day we can spend eternity with Christ in the world to come, giving glory and honour to him, as we experience happiness and eternal life.

Have a  wonderful day

 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him  rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by  loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and

 'I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you' (John 14:18). Jesus is awesome and full of compassion. He loved his disciples and wanted them to understand about His death and resurrection; that He would be going away for a while. He knew they would be confused and devastated, so he hastened to comfort them. He said, 'Let not your heart be troubled: Ye believe in God, believe also in me...I go to prepare a place for you...I will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am there ye may be also' (John 14:1-3). He also promised another Comforter, that he can abide with them forever. What a merciful and loving Saviour! He went further to say he would not leave them comfortless; but will come to them. He was like a father to them, as He and the Father are one. Therefore, He promised not to leave them fatherless, or as an orphan. But will come to them. Speaking of His death and resurrection He said that in a little while the world would not see him no more

 'Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still' (Psalm 4:4). God knows everything about us, because he is God, our Creator and there is nothing that can be hidden from him. He knows the heart and the intents of the heart; Our thoughts, emotions, desires and motives, whether they be good or evil. He knows the godly from the ungodly, and have set apart those who are godly for himself, and will hear when they call unto him (verse 3). We are all called to be in a right relationship with God. Those who accept this call should have daily communion with Him through the study of His Word, prayer and supplications, allowing the Holy Spirit access in their hearts, that they might not wilfully sin against Him. We need to search our hearts daily and be silent before God as we contemplate his grace and his mercy towards us, and He will reveal Himself to us. When our enemies seek to do us harm, or people speak lies about us, simply look to Jesus and trus
