with the humble is wisdom.

When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.

The greatness and infinitude of God's wisdom is made available to those who will say: i really don't understand. Teach me. Show me.

wisdom and knowledge increase in the man who relies on God as His teacher as His understanding.

Trust in the lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding.

A Godly, perfect way of living, a lifestyle of humility, service to others and profound insight is found in the man who will humble Himself before God to ask for the way to live.

To understand things from God's angle and perspective is profitable wisdom that brings success, which creates peace, not strife, and gains His blessing.

AB Simpson: Devotion on Oct 30:

God's presence blends with every other thought and consciousness, flowing sweetly and evenly through our business plans, our social interactions, our hearts' affections, our manual toll, our entire lives. Like the fragrance of a flower or the presence of a friend consciously near, and yet not hindering in the least the most intense and constant preoccupation of the hands and brain, so God consecrates all and is conscious through all. How beautiful the established habit of this unceasing communion and dependence amid and above all thoughts and occupations! How lovely to see a dear old saint folding away his books at night and humbly saying, "Lord Jesus, things are still just the same between us" and then falling asleep in His keeping.

So let us be stayed upon Him. Let us grow into Him with all the roots and fibers of our beings. He will not get tired of our friendship. He will not want to put us off sometimes. Beautiful words of the suffering saint: 44 He never says goodbye. He stays. So let us be stayed on Him.
