Wisdom At Work - Building A Life of Value!

INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Thursday, July 17, 2025 Topic: WISDOM AT WORK! Memory Verse: "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding" - Proverbs 4:7 NKJV Bible Text: Proverbs 24:3‭-‬4 AMPC 3. Through skillful and godly Wisdom is a house (a life, a home, a family) built, and by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation], 4. And by knowledge shall its chambers [of every area] be filled with all precious and pleasant riches. INSPIRATION: Wisdom is a genuine tool for building one's life, home, family, career, business, relationship, partnership, etc. Be it acquired (skillful) or divinely inputted, wisdom is a builder of man's enterprise if used rightly. It follows therefore that it can be wrongfully deployed too, in which case, it'd destroy you. Wisdom is simply defined as the right application of knowledge. You're unwise when you fail to apply what you know. Therefore, knowledge is nothing until it is used the right way. Knowledge is not to be reserved like a souvenir; it is to be deployed creatively in  ways that it exchanges value for you. How wise can a man be who learned a skill for years but can't exchange same for value? Value here, could either be in its impact on others, self or monetary gains to self. Your chambers would be empty of precious and pleasant riches when you fail to diligently and dutifully deploy your skillful and godly wisdom. The responsibility rests squarely on your shoulders to make a living out of your knowledge. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Wisdom is knowing how to navigate and negotiate choices that benefit not just self but promote the good and wellbeing of others. Wisdom is knowledge rightly used. PRAYER: O Lord, please teach and grant me the wisdom that builds and establishes one firmly. Release grace upon me so I can deploy my knowledge in skillful and godly ventures that would yield great profit to Your glory, in Jesus name.
