This will mount a strong defense for you!

Have you seen how people receive an inheritance, and instead of wisely investing it, they squander it all away? This is the the problem when abundance is handed to those who don’t have the wisdom to properly steward it. King Solomon said: “Wisdom is good with an inheritance, and profitable to those who see the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 7:11) It goes on to say that wisdom is also a defense. I have personally seen people get in trouble various times due to lack of wisdom. They spoke or acted in ways that only attracted danger and misfortune. Conversely, when a person speaks or acts with wisdom, they bring forth life, prosperity, effective solutions, peace, and goodwill. The Proverbist said: “Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7) And where can you begin the process of acquiring wisdom? He also answered that question: “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction. (Proverbs 1:7) Are you chasing after things that really won’t matter in years to come, or are you pursuing God and His wisdom? Remember, those who only chase after things are chasing empty dreams at the end of the day. Pursue wisdom, and every good thing will follow!

Ecclesiastes 7: 11 &12 “Wisdom is good with an inheritance, and profitable to those who see the sun. For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, but the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.”

This is a powerful weapon!

Proverbs 14:7&8 (TPT) – “The words of the wise are like weapons of knowledge. If you need wise counsel, stay away from the fool. For the wisdom of the wise will keep life on the right track, while the fool only deceives himself and refuses to face reality”.

I had never realized that wisdom is a weapon. Yet, the Proverbist declares that the words of the wise are like weapons of knowledge. Your words and wisdom can be a weapon against the problems and challenges of life. Ecclesiastes 7:12 says: “For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it“. Did you catch that? Wisdom is a defense. The more of God’s wisdom you have in your mind and spirit, the more defense potential you have in this life. Challenges will always be present, but with God’s defense weapon, wisdom, you will always be able to overcome any issue and obstacle. This is another reason that we must study the word of God DAILY. His word is a DEFENSE!
