"If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." (James 1:5, NIV). What a wonderful promise. Many people claim it in hopes for a dramatic miracle of a wisdom infusion. Then they will be instantly maturity and have complete understanding of God's will.Perhaps God already has provided a means for anyone to gain wisdom and insight. His provision is a thirty-one-chapter book in the Old Testament--Proverbs. Its author, Solomon, says the reason for this book is "for gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight;" (Proverbs 1:2, NIV). By consistent reading and meditating on Proverbs those who lack wisdom will develop an appreciation for God's majesty, provision, and wisdom.Utilizing a disciplined and systematic reading of Proverbs to gain wisdom in no way diminished God's power to provide wisdom in the exact moment of need. Rather it provides an opportunity to lay a foundation of learning what wisdom is to be able to recognize and seize the wisdom of the moment.This five-year journal provides a tool for immersing the reader in the wisdom of Proverbs over an extended period. It also provides a repository of insights from daily recording a significant insight, phrase, or verse. Who can tell what depths of understanding and obedience will come when we take every thought captive to the wonder and wisdom of God?
