Knowledge alone does not resolve issues else the world would be at peace. There is more knowledge around the globe than any time in history yet turmoil and chaos abound in virtually every nation. What is lacking? Wisdom. In Proverbs chapter 4 The Spirit wrote:
7 Wisdom is the principal (first) thing; Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding.
8 Exalt her, and she will promote you;
She will bring you honor, when you embrace her.
9 She will place on your head an ornament of grace;
A crown of glory she will deliver to you.”
Wisdom only comes from Our Heavenly Father. You cannot get it from books or other man-generated materials even though men attempt to immerse themselves in so-called self-help, motivational, or success-based materials. Wisdom does not come with old age and is not withheld from the young. In Proverb chapter 2:
6 For the LORD gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;
FATHER reveals that HE is the Source of wisdom, understanding, and appropriate knowledge. Revelation is only obtained through our relationship with FATHER, not by surfing the Internet or spending hours in the local library. FATHER tells us the first thing to seek is wisdom, then understanding and knowledge. Getting knowledge without wisdom will produce an inferior result and sometimes destruction will be the outcome.
8 He guards the paths of justice, And preserves the way of His saints.
9 Then you will understand righteousness and justice, Equity and every good path.
10 When wisdom enters your heart, And knowledge is pleasant to your soul,
11 Discretion will preserve you; Understanding will keep you,
12 To deliver you from the way of evil, From the man who speaks perverse things
Wisdom guards us from evil and prevents us from proceeding down a wrong path by showing us “The Way” of Jesus Christ. It acts to preserve us and deliver us from evil as well as the perversity which prevails in many areas of society today. Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 1 Corinthians chapter 1:
30 But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God—and righteousness and sanctification and redemption
When we walk according to The Way of Jesus Christ, we become wisdom as well. As Jesus is one with FATHER, so are we to become one with FATHER. Love wants to give wisdom to those who will receive and properly dispense it. If there is anything this world needs, it is wisdom from Above. If we are having a problem with family, our job, finances, or relationships, it is actually a wisdom problem. Wisdom will guide us into peace and success as we deal with the issues of life. Those without wisdom tend to live their lives from one crisis to another and are always dealing with some type of scarcity. Jesus Christ Who is the Wisdom of GOD has the answer to very need and every question so we should seek Wisdom from Above, not the latest self-help book or seminar.
In Proverbs chapter 8, Wisdom speaks:
12 “I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, And find out knowledge and discretion.
And…
17 I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.
18 Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness.
As we seek to be close to FATHER and HIS Most Holy Son, wisdom will come forth in our lives. As we walk in Love and act in faith, wisdom will assure us we are on the right path and guide us through the turmoil and chaos all around us. Given this Truth, why would we seek answers elsewhere?
