Wisdom is the principle
thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding
(Proverbs 4:7).
True wisdom is of the Spirit.
It’s more than the mere application of knowledge as many often define it.
There’re those who can theorize and astound you with the vastness of their
knowledge, yet that doesn’t mean they’re wise.
Wisdom is a compelling force.
It makes you do the things you should do, and say the things you should say
excellently and at the right time. It causes you to function beyond your human
reasoning. When a man lacks the wisdom of God, he’ll think the wrong thoughts,
say the wrong words, do the wrong things, and make the wrong choices. But when
divine wisdom works in you, you make accurate choices and judgments without
having to reason them out first.
No wonder the Apostle Paul
said, “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good
pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). Wisdom is that controlling power that works in
us, not just to will but also to do the will of God. It’s the compelling force
that causes you to walk with divine insight in God’s perfect will for your
life.
Thanks be unto God, who has
made divine wisdom available to you in Christ: “But of him are ye in Christ
Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom…” (1 Corinthians 1:30). Thus, that
compelling force to think, act, and function at a high level of excellence has
been made available to you in Christ. Recognize and take advantage of it today.
