Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding.Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God.For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

But if you remain in me and my words remain in you, you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!

In those days when you pray, I will listen.If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him.And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for.

“ Now, O Lord my God, you have made me king instead of my father, David, but I am like a little child who doesn’t know his way around.And here I am in the midst of your own chosen people, a nation so great and numerous they cannot be counted!Give me an understanding heart so that I can govern your people well and know the difference between right and wrong. For who by himself is able to govern this great people of yours?”The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for wisdom.So God replied,“ Because you have asked for wisdom in governing my people with justice and have not asked for a long life or wealth or the death of your enemies—I will give you what you asked for! I will give you a wise and understanding heart such as no one else has had or ever will have!

“ Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.“ You parents— if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead?Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not!So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.

Give me the wisdom and knowledge to lead them properly, for who could possibly govern this great people of yours?”

At that time you won’t need to ask me for anything. I tell you the truth, you will ask the Father directly, and he will grant your request because you use my name.You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.

You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.

Seek the Lord while you can find him. Call on him now while he is near.Let the wicked change their ways and banish the very thought of doing wrong. Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them. Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.

And may the Lord give you wisdom and understanding, that you may obey the Law of the Lord your God as you rule over Israel.

Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.

“ And I have personally appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be his assistant. Moreover, I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen so they can make all the things I have commanded you to make:

And we will receive from him whatever we ask because we obey him and do the things that please him.

Jesus replied,“ If you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living water.”

“ And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.“ You fathers— if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead?Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not!So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him.”

But the wisdom from above is first of all pure. It is also peace loving, gentle at all times, and willing to yield to others. It is full of mercy and the fruit of good deeds. It shows no favoritism and is always sincere.

He urged them to ask the God of heaven to show them his mercy by telling them the secret, so they would not be executed along with the other wise men of Babylon.That night the secret was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven.He said,“ Praise the name of God forever and ever, for he has all wisdom and power.He controls the course of world events; he removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars.He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what lies hidden in darkness, though he is surrounded by light.

Then Jesus began to denounce the towns where he had done so many of his miracles, because they hadn’t repented of their sins and turned to God.

“ O Sovereign Lord,” I said,“ I can’t speak for you! I’m too young!”The Lord replied,“ Don’t say,‘ I’m too young,’ for you must go wherever I send you and say whatever I tell you.

“ Come in with me,” she urges the simple. To those who lack good judgment, she says,“ Come, eat my food, and drink the wine I have mixed.Leave your simple ways behind, and begin to live; learn to use good judgment.”

Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.

“ But do people know where to find wisdom? Where can they find understanding?No one knows where to find it, for it is not found among the living.‘ It is not here,’ says the ocean.‘ Nor is it here,’ says the sea.It cannot be bought with gold. It cannot be purchased with silver.It’s worth more than all the gold of Ophir, greater than precious onyx or lapis lazuli.Wisdom is more valuable than gold and crystal. It cannot be purchased with jewels mounted in fine gold.Coral and jasper are worthless in trying to get it. The price of wisdom is far above rubies.Precious peridot from Ethiopia cannot be exchanged for it. It’s worth more than the purest gold.“ But do people know where to find wisdom? Where can they find understanding?It is hidden from the eyes of all humanity. Even the sharp eyed birds in the sky cannot discover it.Destruction and Death say,‘ We’ve heard only rumors of where wisdom can be found.’“ God alone understands the way to wisdom; he knows where it can be found,for he looks throughout the whole earth and sees everything under the heavens.He decided how hard the winds should blow and how much rain should fall.He made the laws for the rain and laid out a path for the lightning.Then he saw wisdom and evaluated it. He set it in place and examined it thoroughly.And this is what he says to all humanity:‘ The fear of the Lord is true wisdom; to forsake evil is real understanding.’”

“ The Lord has gifted Bezalel, Oholiab, and the other skilled craftsmen with wisdom and ability to perform any task involved in building the sanctuary. Let them construct and furnish the Tabernacle, just as the Lord has commanded.”So Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the others who were specially gifted by the Lord and were eager to get to work.Moses gave them the materials donated by the people of Israel as sacred offerings for the completion of the sanctuary. But the people continued to bring additional gifts each morning.Finally the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary left their work.

To those who are perishing, we are a dreadful smell of death and doom. But to those who are being saved, we are a life giving perfume. And who is adequate for such a task as this?

“ So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming. Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him.His son said to him,‘ Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son.’“ But his father said to the servants,‘ Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet.

Still later he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their stubborn unbelief because they refused to believe those who had seen him after he had been raised from the dead.
