Where Can We Find Wisdom?
“But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?” (Job 28:12)
Today’s Morsel: Once we become born-again believers, God expects us to be endowed with His character. We cannot live an abundant life, be joyful, and hope to inspire others in the church and world without wisdom, knowledge, understanding, discretion, and instructions. Without wisdom, we will make fools of ourselves. We will always live a defeated, depressed, and stress filled life. Solomon states: “When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.” (Proverbs 2:10-17) So, where can wisdom be found? “I wisdom dwell with prudence and find out knowledge of witty inventions.” (Proverbs 8:12). Whereas wisdom is the deep knowledge of God, prudence is the practical application of that knowledge. They live and operate together. You can’t have one without the other. Whereas wisdom causes us to speak and act properly; prudence prevents us from speaking and acting improperly. When we find Jesus Christ, we will find wisdom and prudence as well.
Sing: Deeper, deeper, every day with Jesus, take me deeper still. Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus, and His perfect will.
Oh, deeper yet I prayer; and higher every day. And wiser blessed Lord, in Thy precious holy Word.
