Wisdom That Works_ Building A Steadfast Life!

INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Friday, July 18, 2025 Topic: WISDOM THAT WORKS - BUILDING A STEADFAST LIFE(Part 2)! 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: Life will test you on all scores, take you through rough storms and make you face fierce battles in your life's journey, and in such moments, the stuff you're made of would surface. It is wisdom that would ensure your ship doesn't sink when life's storm hits you hard. Wisdom is the compass that helps you navigate difficult terrains. Wisdom teaches you how to put your best foot forward and how or when to refrain from certain course of action. Wisdom deploys objective pragmatism to analyse situations critically. Wisdom is a must have if you aim to win and be distinguished in life. When you lack wisdom, you'd be at the mercy of all kinds of manipulative suggestions that may seem good at the surface but are death traps in disguise. Wisdom would lead you in the path of peace, help you to see evil and guide you to depart from it. It would help you to hallow what God hallows and instruct you to detest whatever He detests. Wisdom helps you to process knowledge to your level of understanding so you can get established (Prov. 4:17; 24:3). TODAY'S TAKE HOME: The absence of wisdom is a recipe for disaster, because it elongates your stay in your storm. The absence of wisdom would make you buy into all manner of bondage, lie and manipulation. PRAYER: O Lord, please teach and grant me the wisdom that builds and establishes one firmly on the right path. Teach me to embrace Your wisdom that would help me stay afloat when life's tests hit me hard, in Jesus name.
