James 3:17(KJV)
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
It is abundantly clear that our God is a Giver of wisdom. He created the world by wisdom and set the Heavens in place by operating the same wisdom. Therefore, it is crucial to understand that wisdom is one of the most potent forces on earth. The wisdom from God is blameless, peaceful, fair, logic and thoughtful, forgiving, bears good fruits, without favoritism, and genuine with no pretenses. Instead of proving that we are right, if we have God’s wisdom, we will make peace, promote purity, be gentle, show love, extend mercy, and not have to pretend. In other words, divine wisdom is full of sacrificial action. Divine wisdom highlights character that reflects biblical principles, not book smarts. It is written in Proverbs 4:7 “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.” Wisdom is a principal thing; we need it in every area of our lives. The truth is that we cannot go far in life without wisdom; it is the secret of being in control in any realm of life. It is truly the most precious gift God gives.
The wisdom from above is different and a special privilege only true Christians can enjoy. God’s wisdom is the key that will unlock every door in our lives and turn every failure into success. Wisdom from above puts us above all life situations and circumstances. It makes us stand out far above all our peers. When the wisdom of God is at work, God’s glory in our lives unfolds for all to see. In Gen. 41:39-45, God’s wisdom went through a prisoner, Joseph, and they could not find a match in that city, and it humbled the pride of the wise in the city. Joseph did not only understand the dream, but he also prescribed a sound solution to dealing with the situation. Solomon was notable for receiving and using the wisdom of God. It gave him a highly successful and peaceful reign until he fell into sin. Kings 10:23-24 says, “So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom. And all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.” The wisdom from above gave Solomon fame and blessings. Many came to seek him because of the wisdom God gave him. He stood out among all the kings in his era. Luke 2:52 says, “Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.” If Jesus, the Son of God, and the wisdom persona, needed and used wisdom, then we cannot do without it.
Beloved, make up your mind to connect the Wisdom of God, for the wisdom of God will make you and your action pure and reasonable. You cannot carry wisdom and not attract greatness. Wisdom is behind shining in life. It is the wisdom of God that gives rise to outstanding existence. So, start seeking the wisdom of God, for God is the source of all wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Pray to Him and ask for it, for God has reserved wisdom for you that will enable you to resolve seemingly complex situations. Desire it, for it will make you manage a crisis in personal or public matters and guide you to make a proper decision. To be a true success in life, you must walk in divine wisdom. Today, you need the wisdom that only God gives. It is the wisdom of God that will distinguish you. Study the Word of God daily and trust God for imparting His Wisdom. Make up your mind to maintain the fear of God; it guarantees the wisdom of God. Remember, if you will see gain and not losses; if you will stand out or not; if you will be in the palace and not in prison, you need wisdom.
O Lord, thank You for Your Word. I receive the grace to walk in wisdom and conquer every resistance in Jesus’ Name.
