The Knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom.
When you look out of your window in the morning and see the sunlight shining through the trees, the birds merrily eating the food freely provided for them, the dew on the grass, the exuberance of the spring flowering, you just know there is a grand design somewhere. After all, nothing ever came from nothing. It just doesn’t make sense!
A man called Abram once dreamed of knowing his creator. Amazingly the Creator had a dream of being able to communicate with the man he created. When Abram sought God he found Him! Communication started. It changed Abram's life dramatically, just the same as it does today.
It takes some humility to communicate with God. His mind is very considerably greater than any of ours. Humans, funnily enough, don’t like this idea and prefer to think their own ideas are the top of the range! But God has gone to very great lengths to communicate, even to the point of becoming human Himself. He put everything in place on the earth and knows how it all works. Wouldn’t it be great to get advice from a source like that? Wisdom, it’s called.
It goes deeper than commonsense or reason. It comes from outside the time zone in the eternal, where earth was framed and the physical and spiritual laws were laid down. Wouldn't you love to touch down in there?
Creator made it possible. He prescribed the method and the terms on which it's possible. A man might do worse than to explore such opportunity.
