Bible Reading: Proverbs 1-2; 1 Corinthians 12
Memory verse: “For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding” Proverbs 2:6 (KJV)
Wisdom is behind everything working well in life. The creation of the world and everything in it came by the wisdom of God. Proverbs 3:19 (KJV) says, “The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth;’ No wonder it is the supreme or principal thing (Proverbs 4:7). If it is the principal thing then God wants to give it to you.
Wisdom is knowing what to do from the word of God and doing it. Wisdom is not complete in your hearing from God, but also doing that which you heard. This means approaching life from God’s point of view. The bible says anyone who builds his life with instructions from God’s word is a wise fellow (Matthew 7:23-24). The problems in the world today already have answers in God’s word if only we will take heed to what God is saying.
The bible is God’s wisdom bank for use in the affairs of life. Many in the world today still struggle because of lack of wisdom arising from neglecting God’s word. Wisdom divinely gives us direction in life. Ecclesiastes 10:10b (KJV) says, “wisdom is profitable to direct.” It is God’s answer to the challenges of life; be it in family, business, career, relationship, etc. King Solomon foresaw problems in future as a king and asked God for one thing; Wisdom (1 Kings 3). God gave him wisdom such as no man has ever had till date. That is why Proverbs 2:6a (KJV) reminds us, “For the LORD giveth wisdom:” God still answers request for wisdom, as long as it is His will for man So, what is the situation you are facing today? It is still a wisdom issue. Call on God today and He will respond.
God has sent His Son, Jesus, who is the wisdom and power of God to us (1 Corinthians 1:24). All you need do is to accept Him as your Lord and Saviour and then receive His Spirit of wisdom into your life to guide and direct you. And if you have received Him, then engage the indwelling Spirit of wisdom in you by asking God for His plans for your life.
Prayer: Father, pour upon me afresh the Spirit of wisdom for direction in every area of my life in Jesus name.
