A Treasure Trove of Wisdom

What do we do in day-to-day situations as we seek to glorify God?

Written by Blake Long | Thursday, April 21, 2022

In order for us to truly exercise wisdom, we must acknowledge God as God, and give Him the reverence, glory, and honor He rightfully deserves. It can be very easy to go about our everyday lives not acknowledging Him. And the fact that it’s so easy to do is frustrating. This is why it’s imperative to be intentional in our walk with the Lord. Are we acknowledging Him? Are we staying in communion which Him through prayer, reading, and fellowship? If not, wisdom will be hard to come by.

 

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. (Proverbs‬ ‭3:5-6‬)

We all search for wisdom. It’s a universal pursuit and, in many cases, we look for it from the wrong source. As Christians, we’ve been bought by the precious blood of Jesus Christ—but how do we live wisely? What do we do in day-to-day situations as we seek to glorify God?

We should look no further than Proverbs 3:5-6. Proverbs is a treasure trove for wisdom. We have all this knowledge about God, His Word, and the rest—but how do we use this knowledge in our daily walk with Christ? That is wisdom. And Proverbs is full of it.

I think it’s important to go into detail on each statement in the above passage. First, because it’s used so superficially as a “coffee cup verse” that we forget it’s real meaning. Second, though, is because it’s the pathway to living a life to the glory of God.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. If we are honest, we will admit to dramatically failing at this. Trusting in God—with all our heart, no less—is not a mere suggestion, but a command. It’s not “If you think of it,” but more like, “You must.” Thankfully, the strength of our trust is not the foundation of our salvation—whether it be justification, sanctification, etc.—Jesus is.
