Episode 222: Wisdom Makes You Stronger

(Ecclesiastes 7:19; Prov 4:6,8-9; Prov 4:7 ). Wisdom Makes You Stronger “...wisdom can make one person stronger than ten leaders in a city.” ‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭7:19-20‬ ‭ERV‬‬ According to Prov 4:6,8-9 wisdom protects, keeps one safe, Wisdom makes one great and honourable. “Don’t turn away from wisdom, and she will protect you. Love her, and she will keep you safe. Love wisdom, and she will make you great. Hold on to wisdom, and she will bring you honor. Wisdom will reward you with a crown of honor and glory.”” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:6, 8-9‬ ‭ERV‬‬ So how can one have wisdom, and daily operate in wisdom? According to the Bible “...the first step to becoming wise is to look for wisdom...” Proverbs‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭ERV‬‬ I have good news for you- Wisdom has been found. He is near you. He dwells in you if you believe and accept Him into your heart. Jesus is the Wisdom of God “but unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭1:24‬ ‭KJV‬‬ You have been called. You have access to the Wisdom of God. I also love the way AMP describes Prov 4:7 “The beginning of wisdom is: Get [skillful and godly] wisdom [it is preeminent]! And with all your acquiring, get understanding [actively seek spiritual discernment, mature comprehension, and logical interpretation].” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭AMP‬‬ Godly wisdom - you get from knowing Christ. Also, God has endowed you with gifts. Hone your gifts and make them productive and beneficial for local and global use. As you draw closer in your relationship with Christ, He will continue to guide you in making the right and daily decision to act upon the knowledge you acquire. Remember, Godly and skilful wisdom makes you stronger.
