God's Wisdom
In Proverbs 8:35 we read that whoever finds Wisdom finds life and draws forth and obtains favor from the Lord.
We as God’s children have the Wisdom of God dwelling in us at all times. Jesus is called the Wisdom of God. The Holy Spirit is the Wisdom of God. In James we are told to ask God for Wisdom if we need it. We are to call forth the Wisdom of God through praying in the spirit. When we draw on God’s Wisdom, we are asking for the broad picture to be revealed to us. Many times, we see only a small portion of the broad picture that God sees in our lives. When we get a view from God’s perspective, it changes the way we think, the way we respond to situations, the way we act.
We know when we have taken on God’s vision. We see clearly; we don’t move quickly; we act calmly from God’s place of confidence. The eyes of our understanding are opened, and there is clarity of purpose. There is no longer the wavering and doubtfulness. Wisdom from God presents God’s way of doing things, His way of being right.
The Wisdom of God provides us with everything we will ever need. As we become quiet before the Lord and rest in His Presence, His Wisdom pulls up from our inner man the answer or answers we have been desiring.
In Proverbs 3:21-26 (KJV, Amplified Bible, NLT) we are told not to lose sight of Godly Wisdom, good planning and insight. His Wisdom fills you with life and brings you honor and respect. He, Wisdom, keeps you safe. You can lie down and not be afraid and enjoy sweet sleep, pleasant dreams. You need not be afraid of disaster or destruction, for the Lord is your safety, your security, your confidence. He is the One Who makes your confidence in Him firm and strong. He will keep your foot from being caught in a trap or some hidden danger.
God, Wisdom Himself, is calling us. If we turn and change our ways to His ways, God will pour out His Spirit upon us; He will make His Words known to us. Whoever hearkens to Wisdom shall dwell securely and in confident trust and shall be quiet, without fear or dread of evil. (Proverbs 1:20,21,23,33 Amplified Bible)
O God, we turn from seeking our own way of doing things (fleshly wisdom) and seek Your Wisdom to do what you call us to do.
