WISDOM - THE PILLAR OF LIFE

I know you have been waiting to see what this article will contain and the secret(s) to possessing this kind of God-wisdom. I want to try and keep it as short as possible looking into three essential parts – her source, how to possess her and lastly maintaining her.

So, from where comes divine wisdom?

“For the Lord gives skilful and godly Wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding” --- Proverbs 2:6 [AMP]

Straight forward isn’t it? So, let’s agree that that’s non-negotiable and undisputable! Therefore, anyone who needs to operate in this kind of wisdom knows where to go or who to consult. He’s in fact the Wisdom of the world. Any other promise elsewhere would result to a futile effort. He’s the all-knowing God. He would surely answer you when you call.

Now, I hear you ask, “OK! I now know the source of this wisdom but on what terms and conditions do I take delivery of her and become one with her?” The beginning of your quest for divine wisdom is found in this simple statement;

“The reverent fear and worship of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom and skill [the preceding and the first essential, the prerequisite and the alphabet]…..” -- Psalm 111:10 [AMP]

This is the basic prerequisite in walking in Godly wisdom. It’s simply the fear of the Lord – “to receive His instructions [Words], walking in them and treasure up His commandments within you, making your ear attentive to skilful and Godly Wisdom and inclining and directing your heart and mind to understanding [applying all your powers to the quest for it].”

Doing this, guarantees you the beginning of the wisdom of God. Don’t expect to get it without a cost; remember it’s what distinguishes the wise from the fools! So, it’s hidden and stored up only for the righteous. These are those who heaven considers to have a right standing and are upright with Him. Heaven determines this and His criteria for measuring each person’s uprightness are best known to Him; but if you ask me, I’ll say His measuring stick varies from one person to the other.

“He hides away sound and godly Wisdom and stores it for the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with Him)…” – Proverbs 2:7 [AMP]

You will have to seek [Wisdom] as for silver and search for skilful and godly Wisdom as for hidden treasures, Then you will understand the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of [our omniscient] God. [Read Proverbs 2:1-7]

Now you know the Source and how to possess her but how then do you keep her?

Simple! Just follow the second step over and over again! Don’t stop seeking her, search for her as for silver and as for hidden treasures. His Wisdom is located [hidden] in His Word. It’s made hidden for the upright in heart to possess it.

You would need to read this over and over again, ponder and meditate on it.

Always remember that, “The Gospel is for sharing and not for you alone!”

“I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble. Take firm hold of instruction, do not let go; Keep her, for she is your life” --- Proverbs 4:11-12
