One word, one verse for 2011

Last year, I chose the word "refuge" as my word for the year and Nahum 1:7 as a verse. It worked out pretty well.  I'm surprised the year 2010 went by so fast, but the Lord was definitely a refuge last year.  This year, I have chosen the word "wisdom" as my word for 2011.  Lord knows I need it.  The verse I chose is Proverbs 2:6: "For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding."  Wisdom is of the highest value in the Old Testament, especially in Proverbs, so I expect to be referring to Proverbs more often in 2011.  It's important to remember that God is the source of all wisdom, not me.  I have tried to explain things in my own way on this blog, but I need to "lean not on my own understanding" quite so much.
