In order to function fully as an ambassador of God on earth, one needs to be skilled in godly wisdom towards dealing with circumstances, relationships and any other human endeavors.
Life is practical and entails a continuous state of learning that man will continue to pass through until he lives no more. Only a fool believes he has known enough, because at no point do we no longer need knowledge.
The importance of knowledge and wisdom is mentioned severally in the Bible, but it is most pronounced in the book of Proverbs.
A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels.
Proverbs 1:5 (KJV)
Wisdom, in my perspective, is simply doing things the way they are meant to be done. It also implies doing the right thing at the right time, always. It’s the right application of the knowledge which has been acquired.
Wisdom is crucial (and so also is discernment), for we live in an evil world of mirage and illusions, where things appear in a way they are not. It is so profitable that the Bible encourages us to acquire it as much as we can, and not the wisdom the world gives; the one inspired of God.
Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Proverbs 4:7 (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.
James 3:17 (KJV)
But how do we get this wisdom?
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
James 1:5 (KJV)
God is the giver of wisdom. He gives generally to all who ask sincerely and guides those who diligently seek his consent through His written Word and spoken words.
Do you need wisdom for anything today? Ask Him, He’s willing to give you.
