WISDOM : Is connecting to the mind of God and dwelling in the realm of exploit, Daniel in the bible was a man who do exploit, surpassing all other astrologers, sorcerers and magicians of his time. During the reign of king Nebuchadnezzar king of babylon.
Daniel knew that wisdom and might belongs to God, he did not hesitate to let the king know that God is the epitome of wisdom therefore he needed time to connect to the mind of God in order to give interpretation of the king\’s dream which was refused to be disclosed by the king.
The book of Daniel 2 (:19-20) Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven, Daniel answered and said
\”Blessed be the name of God forever and ever : for wisdom and might are His.\”
Wisdom is profitable to direct. In the book of Ecclesiastes 10:10, It says if the lron be blunt and he do not whet (sharpen) the edge, then must he put to more strength, but widom is profitable to direct. This means working smartly instead of hard labour not as though hard work is despised but you gain more by applying correct or direct basic principle to a particular purpose that was why paul said in the book of Colossians 2:2-3 My purpose is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding in order that they may know the mystery of God namely Christ in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
The gift of a man can make a way for him but wisdom establishes him. Proverbs 3:7 says do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and shun evil.
Yes this can be said of Joseph in the bible while he was in potiphar\’s house., he resistedhis master\’s wife\’s temptation of going to bed with her,this was made possible because he feared the Lord and considered sin as a wickedness ( Genesis 39 7-9)
Wisdom is applied knowledge and by acquiring information, this is by mere asking. \” If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally andupbraideth not and it shall be given him \” (James 1:5 )
God has given us a lot of things to do as we journed in life in order to accomplish these things we need to ask God for uncommon wisdom.
Wisdom makes one to be more proficient and help to accomplish better task as we faces challenges every day
Finally, wisdom is acting wisely and maximizing all the resources that is available to you making sure you are in harmony with your environment giving yourself a sense of self worth and inner peace by so doing you will be acting in accordance with the conscience of doing the right thing without feeling ashame or guilty
Blessed is the man who finds wisdom. The man who gains understanding for she is more profitable than silver and yeilds better returns than gold, she is more precious than rubies nothing you desire can compare with her, long life is in her right hand in her left hand are riches and honour. Her ways are pleasant ways and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those
who embraces her, those who lay hold of her will be blessed. (Proverbs3 :13-18).
We often fail in our daily struggles due to lack of wisdom or misapplication of wisdom.
Wisdom is the principal thing therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting get understanding. (Proverbs 4:7 )
