Wisdom: The Gift of God

According to the book of Proverbs, the Wisdom of God is the main thing that we are to get, and with His Wisdom we get understanding and insight to live a prosperous life on this earth. In God’s Wisdom we are led to do what we ought to do and to say what we ought to say and to think what we ought to think. The Bible, which is the Word of God, is a treasure chest of His Wisdom explained.

Christ is called the Power of God and the Wisdom of God in 1 Corinthians 1:24. The Anointed One with His anointing is the Wisdom of God. He is called Wisdom. What is wisdom? It is insight and understanding of knowledge that we have been given. It is the ability given to us to use the information we have gathered, usually with a purpose in mind. In God’s Kingdom, it is insight and understanding into God----His ways, His thoughts, His plans, His purposes, and His strategies.

In Christ, the Anointed One and His anointing, are hidden or stored up all the treasures of God’s Wisdom. In Christ are hidden or stored up all the riches of God, all the knowledge of God (Colossians 2:3). In Christ we have everything that God is. What a divine privilege we have been given! We have access to the Wisdom and knowledge of God. Of course, we must understand that we don’t have all the wisdom or knowledge of God. He gives us what we need, to do what He has called us to do, whether it is on a daily basis of living or for a longer-term plan. We must trust Him to give us what we need to get the job done. That’s really what faith is. It is trusting God to take care of us and lead us through our God-given assignment, fulfilling the destiny He has designed for our individual lives

Wisdom is the gift of God. We did nothing to earn it or deserve it, just like everything else God gives us. What a giver He is! Today, accept His gift of Wisdom. It is remarkable to me what opens up for us when we ask for and accept God’s Wisdom.
