We Need Wisdom
“Receive my instruction rather than silver; knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies. All the things that may be desired can’t be compared to it. “I, wisdom, have made prudence my dwelling. Find out knowledge and discretion. The fear of Yahweh is to hate evil. I hate pride, arrogance, the evil way, and the perverse mouth. Counsel and sound knowledge are mine. I have understanding and power. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice. By me princes rule; nobles, and all the righteous rulers of the earth. I love those who love me. Those who seek me diligently will find me. With me are riches, honor, enduring wealth, and prosperity. My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold; my yield than choice silver. I walk in the way of righteousness, in the middle of the paths of justice; That I may give wealth to those who love me. I fill their treasuries.” (Proverbs 8:10-21 WEB)
In the passage above, God’s wisdom is speaking. Wisdom is the number one thing to seek from God. It empowers a person to retain and multiply the things he has been blessed with.
Without wisdom, you will make poor decisions that cause you to experience losses.
In the New Testament, we learn that God’s wisdom is actually Christ Jesus:
“Because of him, you are in Christ Jesus, who was made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption:” (1 Corinthians 1:30 WEB)
You can replace the word “wisdom” in the Proverbs passage above. When you seek Jesus, He will give you wisdom by leading you by His Spirit, and teaching you truths.
You will be led to do the right thing at the right time, and the decisions you make will be prosperous ones that lead to lots of good.
Those who seek Jesus and become wise will be good leaders too.
Compared to eternity, this lifetime is so short, like a breath of air. There is no time to waste by being foolish, bitter, worried, and fearful. Every day when you pray, always ask for wisdom, and you can be sure that God will supply it generously!
“But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5 WEB)
Keep studying God’s word and growing in your understanding of His ways. Our Patreon community is currently on a Bible study series called “My Faith Declarations” which looks at the Spirit-inspired utterances of the authors of the Psalms. They wrote about the trials and tribulations they experienced, so the book of Psalms is very relatable.
By turning their faith declarations into our own, we can learn how to overcome similar circumstances in life through faith in the Lord! Become a “God Every Morning” tier or above patron on Patreon to receive this reward, daily devotionals by email, and also all my eBooks.
