Proverbs 2:6 — “…the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”
Have you ever wondered just what wisdom is for?  Let’s think about that.
To love the Lord is to adopt his highest interest as your own.
What is his highest interest?
Someone might reply, “the praise of his glory” seeing as the apostle Paul repeats that phrase two times in Ephesians 1 (v12,v14) as being the motivating factor in his great redeeming work.
So we might ask, just what is his glory?
Isn’t it that he is pure, self-disregarding, self-sacrificial helpfulness?   That is to say that when we meet up with God we always find him in the act of being helpful.  That’s his nature.  
So it seems that any attention he seeks — as in the case of doing something “to the praise of his glory” — has a far deeper rational behind in it then we realize. 
He knows that the moment we recognize in him the all-surpassing worthiness of his self-giving life we will be so radically overjoyed that we will become a living “praise of his glory”.  We will be awestruck that there should exist someone so good as he is — let alone that such a being is actually the Creator at the heart of all creation!
Hence, I suggest that it is ultimately for the sake of our endless delight that he draws attention to his glory — his nature of pure, self-giving, self-sacrificial helpfulness.
