But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee; or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

Job 12:7.

Search for the spiritual meaning of everything. Think of things as symbols. The air is symbolic of the fullness of God, His Holy Spirit that gives Life and Power to all things; the sunshine typifies His joy-dispensing Love; the rain that falls upon the just and the unjust, His loving Care; the depths of the ocean, or the valleys between the hills suggest Peace; the rose speaks Beauty, and the radiant sunsets, the Glory that we've found in our new life— the Life of the Spirit. Thus little by little hidden meanings will be revealed and the wisdom of God be made more clearly manifest.

Be teachable. Do not allow self-conceit to shut the door in Wisdom's face. Much of our knowledge is little better than a cobweb, it needs to be swept away. Pride of intellect is an enemy that prevents Truth from coming to us. Do not try to force new ideas to coincide with old ones; each idea has an existence all of its own, and an old one may need to die before a new one can have birth.

Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth, glory in this, that he hath understanding, and knoweth me, that I am Jehovah, who exerciseth loving kindness, justice and righteousness in the earth, for in these things I delight, saith Jehovah.

Jer. 9:23-24.

If any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting, for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. James 1:5-7.
