1. If you seek God from the heart, you will find wisdom.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith – James 1:5 (ESV)

For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. – 1 Corinthian 1:22-24

You don’t need five easy steps to this or seven sure-fire principles for that. You need a new heart, new character, an awakening deep within…..wise people don’t say, “Do I have to?” Their hearts are set free: “You mean I get to?” They love the things of God as satisfying to the appetites of their renewed souls. They experience what Jesus said: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be satisfied (Matt 5:6)” – Ray Otlund
