For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness (1 Corinthians 3:19).
The Word of God is the wisdom of God. It doesn’t matter what you’ve
experienced in life, who your advisers are, how many books you might have read,
or what you’ve seen in life, if you don’t have the Word in you, you don’t have
the wisdom of God, and therefore can’t excel. The wisdom of men may take you
some distance, but only the wisdom of God will take you all the way.
Wisdom is the revelation of God; it’s insight into reality. The knowledge
of God’s Word inspires the wisdom of God in you to know, say, and do the right
thing, at the right time, in God’s way. Consider Moses, as he stood by the Red
Sea with the children of Israel ,
God said, “Stretch your hand over the water, and divide it!”
If he had consulted with scientists and philosophers, they probably would
have queried him with indignation: “What do you mean God told you to divide
such expanse of waters with a rod in your hand?“ They certainly would have
thought he lost his mind. Howbeit, Moses already received the Word from the
Lord, and was therefore propelled by wisdom. He did as he was instructed, and
the sea parted—congealed on both sides—for the children of Israel to walk
through on dry ground (Exodus 14:21-22). It was the manifestation of the wisdom
of God.
True wisdom is of the Spirit, and comes by the Word. And through
meditation, the Word of God takes root in your spirit, producing in you
“phronesis” (Greek)—the wisdom or mindset of the righteous.
PRAYER: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for the wisdom that’s been made
available through your Word. Christ has been made unto me wisdom; therefore, I
walk in divine wisdom. I have supernatural ability to comprehend spiritual
realities, and walk in your perfect will always, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
FURTHER STUDY: 1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who
of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and
redemption:
1 Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect:
yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come
to nought:
Proverbs 4:7-9 Wisdom isthe principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and
with all thy getting get understanding. 8 Exalt her, and she shall promote
thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her. 9 She shall
give to thine head an ornament of grace: a crown of glory shall she deliver to
thee.
