Demanding Wisdom

Demanding Wisdom

God's Law· Juggling Life's Responsibilities· Prayer

Wisdom is so absolutely essential to my life. The older I get, and the more I read in God’s Word, the more desperately I realize my need for God’s wisdom.

This week I have been doing a daily study of wisdom, only looking in the book of Proverbs. There is much more in my Bible than just what is found in Proverbs, but it’s all I’ve had time for this week. But it’s whetting my appetite, and I plan to continue this study.

James 1:5 is a wonderful promise, one that I have clung to many times already in my life. “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” (NIV).

The next question in my Juggling Life’s Responsibilities study guide is regarding these controversial verses from 1 Timothy 2.

“Do you think it’s fair to say women are more vulnerable than men to being deceived?”

My first reaction is that no, it doesn’t feel one bit fair. I don’t feel deceived! Not any more than anyone else, anyway! In fact, I jotted a note on my study page that “It feels like a woman sometimes sees things first in God’s Word. Then later, God opens her husband’s eyes to the same truth.”
