Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
Wisdom comes easily to those who sincerely seek understanding.
A scoffer seeks wisdom but never finds it because their heart is not truly open to truth. However, for the person of understanding, knowledge comes readily. The difference is not intellectual capacity but heart posture—humility versus pride, sincerity versus cynicism.
Apply This Today
Examine your heart's attitude toward learning spiritual truth and ask God to remove any cynicism or pride that hinders understanding.
Prayer
Father, give me a heart of understanding that readily receives wisdom. Remove any scoffing or pride from my spirit. Amen.
