OUR FATHER WHO RESTORES US TO STRENGTH AND WISDOM 

Proverbs chapter 30 verses 1 - 2 says this;

The words of Agur son of Jakeh. The oracle. The man declares, I am weary, O God; I am weary, O God, and worn out.

Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man.

These proverbs, which are inspired utterances of Agur, start with the author describing his condition as being weary and worn out.

The proverb's author then declares himself to be mentally deficient to the point of being subhuman and that he did not have the intellectual accuity  to be a human being 

Continuing onto verse 3, the author gives the reason why he is in this condition saying;

I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the Holy One.

These first two proverbs in chapter 30 could be seen as a summation of the human condition in our fallen state.

We, of the human race, are weary and worn out from the toil in the dust of the earth and we also suffer from incomprehension of both ourselves and our world.  Both of these are  the result of the curse on mankind after the fall and as such, we operate far below the levels at which human beings, who are made in the image of God, are supposed be operating at. 

Separated from God, we have not learned wisdom and we have no knowledge of the Holy one and thus we are left weary and senseless.

The gift of God, which is salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross where His  blood was shed to pay for our sins, is able to bring us back into communion with the Spirit of God who is wisdom as well as back into the knowledge of God.

We can then be renewed in strength and guided by the  wisdom of God.

Amen.
