Bible Commentary

Proverbs 8:9

Wisdom is not obscure to the sincere seeker. As we grow in knowledge and relationship with God, wisdom becomes progressively clearer.

Memory phrase: Wisdom is clear to those who seek.

Talk about it: Has something that used to be confusing ever become clear to you? How did that happen?

Prayer: God, grow my understanding so Your wisdom becomes clearer to me every day.
