I have recently been teaching on the importance of walking in the Wisdom of God during my Podcast Show "Times In the Secret Place" that you're welcomed to tune into every Tuesday and Thursday at my website: www.prophetessequilla.wixsite.com.
Wisdom is such a rich vast topic to delve into and drink from that it's almost impossible to gather everything at once. So, I've decided to focus on 5 key things about the Wisdom of God that stood out to me as I meditated on the scripture and would benefit us all.
What does the scripture say the Wisdom of God is, look at James 3:17 which gives us a thorough account of the wisdom of God.
James 3:17 Expanded Bible (EXB)
17 But the wisdom that comes from ·God [L above; 3:15] is first of all pure, then peaceful [peace-loving], gentle [patient; considerate], and ·easy to please [or willing to yield; or open to reason]. This wisdom is ·always ready to help those who are troubled and to do good for others [L full of mercy and good fruits]. It is ·always fair [impartial] and ·honest [sincere; unhypocritical].
Now that we know what the Wisdom of God is, understand that It is God who gives us His wisdom!
Proverbs 2:6 New International Version (NIV)
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding
Proverbs 2:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.
Since God gives Wisdom, you must understand the value wisdom! Everything that comes from God is good!
Proverbs 3:14-15 New Living Translation (NLT)
14 For wisdom is more profitable than silver,
and her wages are better than gold.
15 Wisdom is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her.
Wisdom, is more precious than rubies and more profitable than silver! That's surely valuable.
Proverbs 4:7 King James Version (KJV)
7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Read the same verse in the EXB.
Proverbs 4:7 Expanded Bible (EXB)
7 ·Wisdom is the most important thing; so get wisdom [L The beginning of wisdom is: Get/Acquire wisdom].
·If it costs everything you have [L Above all your acquisitions], ·get [acquire] understanding.
That sure makes it clear. Wisdom is the most important thing you need in life! If it costs everything! That means wisdom is incredibly valuable. Why? Because we need the wisdom of God in practically every area of our lives.
The wisdom of God for our families, for our ministries, our businesses, careers, our health, our finances etc. etc. etc.
The next point I want to make, now that you know how valuable the Wisdom of God is, you must know how to get God to give it to you. Well, I'm happy to share that all you have to do is ask God for it!
James 1:5 New Living Translation (NLT)
5 If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.
Now that you know what the wisdom of God is, where to obtain it, how valuable it is, and how to ask for it, the final thing I want you to know are the benefits of acquiring and walking in it.
Proverbs 2:10-11 New Living Translation (NLT)
10 For wisdom will enter your heart,
and knowledge will fill you with joy.
11 Wise choices will watch over you.
Understanding will keep you safe.
Proverbs 2:12 New Living Translation (NLT)
12 Wisdom will save you from evil people,
from those whose words are twisted.
Wisdom helps you make wise understanding for you life that will keep you safe!
And I have to share this last passage on the benefits on wisdom!
Proverbs 3:15-17 Expanded Bible (EXB)
15 Wisdom is more precious than ·rubies [or pearls];
nothing you could want is equal to it.
16 ·With [In] her right hand ·wisdom offers you a long life [L are length of days],
and ·with [in] her left hand ·she gives you [are] riches and honor.
17 ·Wisdom will make your life [L Her paths are] pleasant
and ·will bring you [L her trails are] peace.
That sums it up. I know you now understand that it's for your benefit to go after the Wisdom of God for your everyday life.
Until next time.
