Deep dives

Wisdom as Trust in the Lord

Wisdom begins with trusting the Lord rather than relying on one's own understanding. This concept is deeply embedded in Proverbs 3, 5-8, which emphasizes that true wisdom is not merely a product of intelligence but rooted in a sincere reliance on God. Those who seek wisdom must recognize that self-sufficiency often leads to folly, as was the case with biblical figures like Jacob, whose life illustrates the futility of navigating life without God's guidance. Embracing a heart-level trust in God transforms one's entire being, making it essential to depend wholly on Him to cultivate true wisdom.
