Get Wisdom

Day 167

Reading: Proverbs 4:1 - Proverbs 9:18

The main central theme of the Book of Proverbs is the clarion cry to acquire wisdom. Repeatedly in the early chapters, we see the author advising and admonishing on the pursuit of wisdom. Wisdom is not referred to as a principle thing but it is the principle thing to get. King Solomon could attest to the value of wisdom. His desire for a heart that would enable him to rule the children of Israel well saw God open all the vats of blessings into his life. Why should I get divine wisdom? 
  • The Bible instructs to get wisdom Proverbs 4:7. Get it because wisdom was there in the beginning and this beginning is the beginning before creation. Why wouldn't you want to connect to the force that was there before creation?
  • Wisdom will order your steps along the smooth path Proverbs 4:12. Wisdom gives a clear path to greatness. Wisdom leads one on the way of God. Wisdom will help clear hurdles that life throws. Wisdom deals with the curve balls that we encounter in the many situations of life.
  • That you may preserve discretion in life Proverbs 5:1. Divine wisdom will aid your associations and help keep you away from the wrong kind of relationships.
  • Wisdom is actually calling for your attention Proverbs 8:1. Wisdom cries out to all because she speaks of excellent things. When life seems to only pour pain into that which is your story seek divine wisdom and you will discover that it will locate the more excellent way for you.
  • Wisdom is better than money Proverbs 8:11. We live in a world where the pursuit of earthly goods is deemed more important than that which is heavenly. Solomon was one very wealthy person and he understood that the source of his wealth was not corrupt deals but the wisdom that God bestowed on him. Riches and honour are found in wisdom.
  • Dominion in life is through wisdom Proverbs 8:14-16. You cannot rule in life without the wisdom of God. 
Let your every pursuit and desire be the acquisition of wisdom. Wisdom will bring life to you in all that God has ordained for you. The Word of God is divine wisdom unveiled. The pursuit of divine wisdom will result in health in all your bones and flesh Proverbs 4:22. 

Memory Verse: Proverbs 4:22

Proverbs 4:18
But the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day. (italics mine)

Now is....

Everyday I seek to share something that I have learnt through the daily reading. I make a choice to discipline myself not to write too much as we inundated with a lot of reading material. Feel free to add comments because that way we share and thus encourage one another to grow into the fullness of Christ. Today I am amazed at the fact that God will always remember His covenant and fulfill the promise. I want to list five words in the order they appear in one scripture that showed God is at work in our lives. Remembered : My God will never forget me. To be delayed is not to be denied as God will surely remember. God spoke and said to Sarah that He would return at the appointed time; at the right season!!! I do believe that we are in a season where we will see God begin to act on the promises that seem forgotten. Or better put in another way there is a resurrection of seemingly forgotten prophecies that is about to take place. Dry bones are beginning to take shape. Listened : No longer ...

Blessing or ....

To live well is one thing we all desire. I have never met anyone who did not want to live well. By living well for some people it means helping others. For others it means having a successful business. Yet for others it means travelling the world. I have discovered that it is not money that empowers but the blessing of God that empowers. Money is simply one of the many ways that the effects of the blessing may show up. Many times today in society we confuse money with being blessed yet people like Mother Teresa did not flaunt money but her life still is blessing many people round the world. The book of Deuteronomy has challenged me to desire to be blessed. Anyone who has walked with the blessing of God in their live has seen doors open that are a struggle for others. Yesterday I wrote about obedience. What obedience opens our lives to is the operation of the blessing. By choosing to obey the Word we are choosing to open our lives to be blessed. The purpose of being blessed is not self ...

Absalom's Treachery

Day 91 Reading: 2 Sam. 14:1 - 2 Sam. 15:37 One of life's most painful lessons is the treachery of human beings. When family or friends hurt you and leave you grieving the pain is not the same as when someone out on the street does something wrong. The pain goes deeper and it's easy to become bitter. Absalom had fled from Israel knowing that he was a wanted man for the murder and revenge on Ammon his step-brother. Joab arranged for a wise woman to go see David and get him to forgive Absalom. The wise woman made David realise that he was not setting a godly example by exiling Absalom. The wise woman made David understand that God will not banish anyone but he will seek the person out. God will do everything in His power to restore the banished person. The wise woman was asking David not to forget the grace of God that enables one to enjoy forgiveness. David gets Absalom brought back to Jerusalem however for 2 years he didn't see him. Now, this was worse than ...
