This will defend you like nothing else can!

The word defense means: capability of resisting attack; means or method of defending or protecting oneself, one’s team, or another. Defense therefore is an extremely important capability. 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.” So when it comes to defense, both money and wisdom are strategic elements to effective defense. Our nation regularly buys amazing, fully loaded fighter planes and battle cruisers to protect its borders. They cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but it’s a worthwhile investment. Wisdom also protects us from committing stupid acts that can hurt us or get us killed. . Wisdom can also get us out of dangerous situations. Ephesians 6 speaks of the armor of God. Most all of the armor is defensive in nature (soldier’s armor), but one element is for attack purposes, and that is the sword of the spirit. Think about it….that is the word of God which is the wisdom of God. His wisdom can protect us, but it will also give life eternal to those who believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ! If I had to pick one, I’d go with wisdom each and every time, because if you have wisdom, you can always acquire money, but many who have money, lack the kind of wisdom that will give them life eternal. What is your priority?

Ecclesiastes 7:12 “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 full of revelation!

One of God’s many characteristics is that He is very generous. You can see that in all of creation. Just look at the forests, the rain, the ocean, etc. He is also very generous in wisdom. Proverbs 2:6 (TPT) says: “Wisdom is a gift from a generous God, and every word he speaks is full of revelation and becomes a fountain of understanding within you.” If we ask God for wisdom, He will give it abundantly (James 1:5). Every word He gives us if full of revelation. Did you get that? This is why it is so important to read a verse or two, then stop and think about what was written. You will find that when you meditate or think about what you just read, the Holy Spirit will begin to give a you deeper understanding of what is hidden in those verses. Never rush when you are studying God’s word. Take your time because when you do, more revelation will come forth. His word is a fountain of understanding. And to those that love and desire knowledge from above, God will generously grant it to you. Remember, God’s word contains life, purpose, joy, peace, confidence, strategies and power to overcome any challenge or obstacle you might be facing. Be like David, who loved God’s word. It was said of David, “He is a man after God’s own heart.” What will they say about you?
