Wisdom is a path, not a door. It is a process and a relationship, not a formula or a technique. You need to develop daily disciplines/habits that help you gain wisdom. There is no shortcut. What are those disciplines and habits? (1) Knowing God; (2) knowing ourselves; (3) knowing wise counsel; (4) knowing God’s word; and (5) knowing troubles.

Sometimes, we feel frustrated by the lack of wisdom. Agur, an author of Proverbs, felt that way. He asked how we can know wisdom unless heaven comes down. There are so many questions which we can’t answer. In Jesus, God has come down and revealed the ultimate wisdom of God, which is the cross.
