The fear, respect and awe of who God is foundational to acquiring wisdom. I’ve always been tempted to think that the more I knew about Scripture, the more likely I’d be growing in wisdom. That is probably true but not the whole truth, if that makes sense. Accumulating knowledge and information is essential, but my obedience and surrender to our Father is even more important to wisdom. Without surrender, I’m more likely to act and say foolish things. My intimacy with Him is developed upon my seeking Him and surrender to the King of kings
"The Psalms seem obsessed with God’s eagerness to reach out to the humble. God saves the humble, guides the humble, sustains the humble, and even crowns the humble. Notice that everything flows from God to the humble servant." @garyLthomas on @myfaithradio
