CHILDREN –

The word search is a verb; it is an act of looking for something. Looking for something with passion and not giving up until it is found.

There are several things that the word of God encourages us to search for, wisdom is one of it.

It’s very important that we seek to be wise as God’s children!

There are several reasons why you should search for wisdom as a child of God. One will be that it helps us to represent our father better because wisdom makes us exceptional.

The book of proverbs has helped identify more reasons you should search for wisdom, and want to be wise.

I hope you are set to learn something new this morning! Let’s look at our focus verse.

Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For whoever finds me finds life and receives favor from the Lord. But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death.” –Proverbs 8:34-36 (NIV)

First of all, let me show you something interesting about this verse. You don’t get wisdom by wishing you were wise, or just praying to be wise. Wisdom comes by;

1. Watching Daily

2. Waiting daily

These two things denote taking efforts to search out something, and patients because it will take time to attain a certain level of wisdom, but that’s if you put in the work daily.

So, the question this morning is why should you and I search for wisdom?
