Bible Reading: Psalm 104:1-35
“O LORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches” – Psalm 104:24(KJV).
Truly, the wisdom of God is deep and it is of infinite varieties. A detailed study and observation of God’s creation will stagger the human mind. The Psalmist after his thorough observation of God’s creation which he called ‘manifold works´ cried out to his soul to praise the LORD saying: “Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty” – Psalm 104:1(KJV). It is by divine wisdom that He created the world: “The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath established the heavens” – Proverbs 3:19(KJV).
The wisdom of God is infinite and inexhaustible. Take a look at the limitlessness and vastness of creation, you will be humbled by the power and wisdom involved in creation. Such wisdom is from above. No wonder the bible has this to say of wisdom: “Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is found in the land of the living ……… It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. ……..The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. …….. for the price of wisdom is above rubies. ……….neither shall it be valued with pure gold” – Job 28:13-19(KJV). The wisdom of God is from above and is above all things. It cannot be acquired from the university, neither can it be purchased with money. God’s wisdom is creative and all accomplishing. “I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty invention” Proverbs 8:12(KJV). The creative wisdom of God produced the earth and put all thing in their places with perfection.
Wisdom is all conquering and ever victorious. This is why the bible said in Proverbs 4:7(KJV), “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Divine wisdom can be defined as ‘Holy Ghost inspired insight’. An example of this is Joseph in Egypt and Daniel in Babylon, who were given insight to the interpretation of the dreams of their respective rulers in their time. By divine wisdom Solomon gave judgment on the contention of the living child by two women.
The church of Christ will reign in this earth by operating in the manifold wisdom of God preceding the coming of Christ as stated in Ephesians 3:10-11(KJV): “To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be made known by the church the manifold wisdom of God. According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” By redemption Christ the wisdom of God now lives in us which means that as a child of God you have a deposit of wisdom of God within. (Col. 1:27 & 1 Cor. 1:24). We have the mind of Christ(1 Cor. 2:16) so we have the power of creative wisdom (Proverbs 3:19), because Christ in us is the wisdom of God and the power of God. It is exciting and gratifying to know that at redemption this magnitude of wisdom is deposited in us. All we need now is to stir up this wisdom of God that is already deposited in us by redemption.
Prayer: Father give me the grace to stir up your deposited wisdom in my life.
