God calls you to wisdom and promises to give it to anyone who will ask Him for it.
Wisdom is a decision.
The condition of your life is the sum total of your decisions. If you want your future to be better than your past or your present you will have to begin making better decisions.
Once you ask the question, "In light of my past experience, my current circumstances and my future hopes and dreams what is the WISE thing for me to do?" Then, you must decide if you will act on the answer.
Asking the question will bring you from the edge of confusion to the edge of clarity. But then you have to act wisely.
Once you know the wise thing to do but choose NOT to do the wise thing, the Bible says you are a "fool".
King David chose wisdom and became the first great king of God's people. Here's what he wrote: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise." Psalm 111:10
David's son, Solomon also faced the moment of choice when he was about to become the new king of Israel. God promised the young prince anything he wanted as he assumed the throne and Solomon asked for wisdom (very wise). We know how well that turned out!
Asking the question brings you to the edge of wisdom. Acting on it takes you across the line.
Kings choose wisdom. Fools don't.
What will you do?
Kings "fear the Lord" by giving Him reverence and submitting to His will.
Fools don't.
Will you "fear the Lord"?
