Wisdom is understanding God’s Word, and those who love and revere the LORD are granted such a blessing, as Solomon says in Proverbs 1:7
” The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction…”
The “fear” or “love” of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Did you ever encounter an individual who refuses to “listen” and avoids hearing the truth? I have many times over, and it’s frustrating to say the least, because many times, more oft than not, it’s something of value or for that individual’s own good, and sadly they don’t wish to “hear” or “learn” of a situation that might benefit them greatly.
Yes, we’ve all been there when we think “we know best” for what “we need“ Or, as I term it, the “I…I…I…” and “me…me…me…” scenario that suggests the individual is only seeing their own way, or disinterested, at best, and doesn’t look outside the box in which they’re personally contained, and therefore fluff off the person (s) trying to guide them with wisdom of which may be, potentially a “life changing” scenario. Or they simply cannot, or will not see, that which the LORD is showing them, thereby closing off all communication spiritually.
That is when we use that “wisdom” in which God fortifies those of us who “revere/fear” or more to the point, “love” the LORD, and in return, He supplies us, as He blesses us, with His wisdom, and guidance. So, He will ultimately guide us in the right direction, concerning the situation with this individual, or our very own situation, and any other situation or circumstance, that comes our way, at any given moment.
As we take on the Word daily/regularly, and delve into the beautiful contents of His “voice,”wishing for a deeper knowledge base of God, and His character, and experience His love, we will be granted our fondest desires, and so much more. That comes from the Word.
In Proverbs, wisdom begins with God: His centrality is assumed throughout Those that trust and know God, and mirror, or reflect this by their conduct towards their fellow brothers, and sisters, in accordance with the divinely approved principles of the Word, that is to say God, it is then, that we will find a vast array of rewards, that will radiate within our very souls.
Good and bad, are linked with reward and penalty, and it is so clearly evidenced in God, as He embodies in Himself, both love and justice. Throughout the book of Proverbs, are positive and negative standards, and these standards provide a valuable test of personal conduct. God is good all the time, yes…all the time God is good. However, there will always be evil in this world, and it’s God and His followers that inherently obviate evil.
Wisdom and love are two mitigating and necessary factors in life, especially in the life of a believer, and follower of Christ.
So, do you want the greatest lesson about life and love? May I suggest you open His book and begin to be fed with His knowledge, peace and love.
God’s light love and wisdom will bring about a transformation in body, heart, and soul.
It’s called LIFE ANEW…that only our loving God can provide.
“Thank You for Your Word and Wisdom and Your love in Jesus name, Amen”
