(Proverbs 1:2-7 NKJV) "To know wisdom and instruction, To perceive the words of understanding, To receive the instruction of wisdom, Justice, judgement, and equity; To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion --A wise man will hear and increase learning, And a man of understanding will attain wise counsel, To understand a proverb and an enigma, The words of the wise and their riddles. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."
"enigma" - A saying, question, pictorial representation, or the like, containing a hidden meaning to be discovered; a riddle; anything puzzling or inexplicable.
"riddles" - Dark Sayings.
(James 1:5 NIV) "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."
Jesus made it clear to His disciples: they should petition God to meet their needs. So should we. We are no different. Genuine, heartfelt prayer produces powerful changes in us and in our world. When we lift our hearts to God, we open ourselves to a never-ending source of divine wisdom and infinite love.
Do you have questions about your future that you simply can't answer? Many are facing underemployment, unemployment, separation from families for employment, financial struggles, family strained due to the economy, etc. So I ask you...do you have needs that you simply can not meet by yourself? Do you sincerely seek to know God's unfolding plans for your life? If so, ask Him for direction, for protection, guidance and for strength - and then keep asking Him every day. Whatever your need, no matter how great or small, pray about it and never lose hope. God is not just near; He is here, and He's perfectly capable of answering your prayers and to provide you with counsel, instruction, wisdom, etc. Now, it is up to you....all you have to do is ask...and keep on asking....(1 Thessalonians 5:17 NIV) "pray continually;"
