Proverbs 4 & 5 - Beginning of wisdom is to have a desire to acquire it; you get understanding. 2025

Prov 4:7
"The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; And with all your acquiring, get understanding.

The beginning of wisdom is to have a desire to acquire it. With all your acquiring, you get understanding. The wisdom and understanding of the Father are only exemplified in those who do His commandments.
Deut. 4:4-6 “But you who held fast to the LORD your God are alive today, every one of you. 5“See, I have taught you statutes and judgments just as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do thus in the land where you are entering to possess it. 6“So keep and do them, for that is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who will hear all these statutes and say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”

Psalm 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; A good understanding have all those who do His commandments; His praise endures forever.
