OUTLINE:

Wisdom isn't just an object, it's manifest in a PERSON!

Our Attitude Towards Wisdom
Today we have God's Word; however, it's up to the Sovereign Spirit of God to grant wisdom and understanding to the humble soul.

Jas 1:17
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

1Jn 5:20 [Amplified]
And we [have seen and] know [by personal experience] that the Son of God has [actually] come [to this world], and has given us understanding and insight so that we may [progressively and personally] know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true—in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

Finding His Peace
Understanding God’s wisdom gives us peace. When the Truth sets you free, you are at peace (nothing is pressing or agitating your soul). Seek Him to find your peace - do not seek peace (or wisdom) in an attempt to find Him.

The Value of Wisdom
Do you value wisdom enough to seek for it diligently? (Mt 13:44-46; Lk 11:5-10)

Lk 11:8 [NLT]
But I tell you this—though he won’t do it for friendship’s sake, if you keep knocking long enough, he will get up and give you whatever you need because of your shameless persistence.

Barnes on Pr 20:30
The open sores of wounds left by the scourge, unclean and foul as they seem, are yet a cleansing, purifying process for evil; so also are the stripes that reach the inward parts of the belly, i. e., the sharp reproofs, the stings of conscience, which penetrate where no scourge can reach, into the inner life of man.

Barnes on Pr 20:30
Chastisement, whatever be its nature, must be real; the scourge must leave its mark, the reproof must go deep.
