Wisdom is the skill to live in a way that is pleasing to God..
It is not simply information in our heads. It is practical application of knowledge, of the promises of God that we put to use—where we live, where we work, and where we play..
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, of wisdom. That is the starting point..
Fools despise wisdom and instruction..
We have two choices. Either choose to live in the power of God, under the discipline of His Word, or to live foolishly..
We can be certain that God wants us to be wise, just as we are sure that He wants us not to sin..
The world offers no hope, no solution, no encouragement. God says, “I want you to have wisdom, the skill to experience life as it ought to be experienced.” The choice is up to us..
Not until we have become humble and teachable, standing in awe of God’s holiness and sovereignty… acknowledging our own littleness, distrusting our own thoughts, and willing to have our minds turned upside down, can divine wisdom become ours..
Thank you Holy Spirit for helping us make wise choices so that we are able to discern what is best, live with integrity, & be pure & blameless for the day of Christ Jesus..!
