God’s wisdom is so precious and multi-faceted. If we would truly seek His wisdom, it will open up the floodgates of revelation to us. Proverbs 8:12 (AMP) says: “I, [godly] wisdom, reside with prudence [good judgment, moral courage and astute common sense], And I find knowledge and discretion”. In the King James Version, the verse reads as follows: “I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions”. Did you catch that? Godly wisdom brings with it good judgement, moral courage, and astute common sense. We absolutely need all of these in this day. Wisdom also “finds” knowledge and discretion. In other words, when Godly wisdom is present in us, it allows us to continue to find the knowledge that we need. It’s like a frequency tuner for knowledge. The King James Version says it this way: Godly wisdom “finds out knowledge of witty inventions”. There is still a lot that we need to learn. There are needs on this earth that still haven’t been addressed, and Godly wisdom will help us to find the knowledge and strategies we require in order to address these needs. Will you be the one in whom Godly wisdom will flow?
God gave you a mouth; Use it!
We all have a mouth and unique experience & perspectives. However, our mindsets and views are being continually shaped and formed by school, movies, the news and social media, family and friends. Our view on things can change depending on what we listen to. Many today believe all that they read or hear. That is dangerous because everybody has an opinion and a bias. That is why our faith has to be centered around the word of God. Romans 10:17 says: “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” The key here is that faith comes by hearing, so what we hear all day long helps to fashion our belief system. Jesus said that He would give us “a mouth” and “wisdom” which none of our adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict (Luke 21:15, ESV). So if we daily connect with God’s word, our mouths will be a powerful tool and weapon against the enemy’s attacks because since we are filled with the wisdom of God, that is what we will speak when challenged. So instead of curses, anger, offense, ignorance and worldly bias coming out of our mouths, what will come forth is the love, grace, power, knowledge and beauty of God’s word and will. We all have a mouth, so let’s all use it for God’s glory and for the benefit of all those that God has called us to minister to, even those who have had the eyes of their understanding darkened by the spirit of this age.
Luke 21:15 (ESV) “for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.”
