It’s wisdom.
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. James 1:5
In the Book of 2 Samuel, we find King Solomon praying to God for this very thing. And, just like our God, he gives it to the king in abundance.
You read the spiritual fruit from Solomon's humble prayer every time you read the book of Proverbs.
Here are 5 ways to use the Proverbs in your daily devotion time:
A Proverb a day keeps bad choices at bay. Thirty-one proverbs make up this book of wisdom. With one for every day of a long month, it’s a great way to start the day.
Devotion time with your Teen. Parent of a Teenager? The Book of Proverbs give mom and dad a great opportunity to go through a book in the Bible together. A teenager may buck wisdom from his parents, but when some of the same wise words come from God...now that's a great thing!
Word Search. Pick a word, any word. Well, ok, not any word. I doubt you'll find iPod in the Book of Proverbs. But, if you're wondering what God thinks about being lazy, look up verses in Proverbs where He speaks about the sluggard. Want to be a better parent? Search for words like; son, daughter, mother, father.
Pick a favorite. Choose your favorite proverb and pray it back to the Lord.
Best wife ever! Interested in becoming the best wife ever? Head over to Proverbs 31. Is there something you can see that might need fine-tuning in your own job performance? Some scholars believe this proverb was written by Bathsheba for her son Solomon. In it she advises him of the things he should look for in a wife. As a mom with sons, I couldn't agree more.
