"Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding." Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) And in the NIV, "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom; Though it costs all you have, get understanding."

In all the things that are taking place at this present time, now is the time to heed God's word and seek His wisdom. Let's see what Scripture tells us concerning our getting wisdom.

In Job 28:28 we see that the fear of God constitutes wisdom. It is the answer to Job's question in verse 20, "From where then does wisdom come?"
".Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding."  Vs. 28

The Apostle Paul in writing to Timothy tells us that the Holy Scripture is the source of wisdom:
".From childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction for instruction in righteousness, That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:15-17

James describes a person whose wisdom is not from above, but that is
earthly:
"But if you have a bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.
This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing." James 4:14-16

In James 4:17 we see that wisdom from above is full of spiritual fruit:
"But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy."

Scripture speaks of the preciousness of wisdom:
"It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, In precious onyx, or sapphire." Job 28:16

"How blessed is the man who finds wisdom, And the man who gains understanding.
For its profit is better than the profit of silver, And its gain than fine gold." Proverbs 3:13-14

"For wisdom is better than rubies;
and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it."
Proverbs 8:11

The writer of Ecclesiastes states in 2:13, "Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, As light excels darkness."

Let us therefore do as James 1:5 tells us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."
We must heed the vital condition concerning this request as we see in verses 6-8:
"But let him ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.
For let not that man expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, Being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways."

Ask in faith! Doubting is unbelieving! How can God honor unbelief? He can not! To ask in faith is to believe and trust wholly in Him and His word!.

How thankful we are to our Lord for He is ever faithful and trustworthy. 
Amen
