If wisdom is what you seek I would suggest 2 things:
1. Pray and ask God for wisdom (regularly)
2. Read God's word which is the most popular, profound, and life changing book in history and start with books by Solomon, the wisest man in the world. Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon. So, I think you started in the right place, but there is much wisdom throughout the entire Bible.
Sometimes I think ( just me maybe), wisdom begins in Leviticus 26, and Deuteronomy 28.
Knowing what God approves of and what He judges,will put us out in front of the murky areas of real life.
Every time we read the Book of Revelation, God blessed us! Revelation 1:3
Proverbs is a good starting place if you don't speed read through them. Read also Ecclesiastes; written by Solomon. Who became polluted by the 900 women in his household.
My personal favorite story is about Gideon. He went from terrified; to being a great leader with Gods help.
Psalms helps us to see through the lense of King David's life. He had ups and downs. It always drove him to God. We see ourselves in those stories often. Our own experiences are similar; so it's a good place to find comfort.
The wisdom of reading the Gospels is to meet Jesus, the Son of Man. Study his reactions, his comments, how he taught groups and also one-on-one when needed.
He is real. He was in the tomb 3 days, but he came out of it alive and Victorious. He knows exactly what every human being has done or not done.
You don't have to read dozens of helps books. If you read the Bible like a detective looking for clues, you'll find Jesus in every place you go. When you go outside to enjoy some sun-notice all the birds praising the Lord (for bugs) and then the trees giving God wave offerings (because of rain).
I don't look at what the WORLD is doing. We know what they're doing. The Natural Man is busy sinning and trying to sell that to others any way they can. Those of us that are alive Spiritually (born again) have chosen to follow Jesus. I examine everything He says in the Bible. I don't think we should lay down and let the Devil monkey stomp us. Ephesians 6, says to fight back. Jesus is our example always.
Prayer is not complicated. Speak to Jesus just as if He's in the room with you. God hates mixtures. Live spiritually and avoid falling into ditches.
Thank you so much for sharing. I really appreciate that you took the time to share your knowledge. I will most definitely start my day reading each scripture, taking my time to meditate on them too...
I'm on a mission, but a little bit insecure. As long as I know and trust that God put me here for a reason, I'll get it right..
And yes, King David is a good example of a man after God's heart, with the many mistakes he has made, and still went back to God for correction, guidance and forgiveness. I think, the generations I've seen before me and my own, tend to get too caught up in our wrongdoings and condemn ourselves to what seems like no return, back home, to Christ...
1 Corinthians 1:18-31 is such a glorious portion of Scripture, contrasting worldly wisdom compared to that of Christ, Who is made to us wisdom! I am excited for you, because as you ask, seek, and knock, you will find Jesus and refreshment in His Word! He truly does reward diligent, sincere seekers with the gift of Himself! God bless you!
Who can help me out with their personal experience, referencing with a scripture?
