"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." ~ Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is something that is available to anyone who asks for it. James reminds us of this in James 1:5 - "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God...and it shall be given him."
It is also something that people aren't born with; it is not something that "some people have and some don't". The only reason that one person has wisdom and another does not is because one has asked for wisdom. God has the wisdom we need, but He does not shove it down our throats; He has it in His hand, waiting for us to ask for it.
The thought for today is this: do we ask God for wisdom? Proverbs exhorts us to utilize all our "getting". That indicates doing everything within our power to obtain God's wisdom.
What is God's formula for receiving wisdom?
...simply ask Him for it.

Bible Reading: Proverbs 8
King Solomon, the wisest king who ever lived, desired God's direction more than he desired riches and fame. He recognized that without wisdom from above, neither riches or fame mean anything anyway.
