Wisdom

Solving a complex problem in trigonmetry and writing a computer program that will guide a nuclear submarine both require great intelligence. But such intelligence does not guarentee a fulfilling, balanced and productive life. Success in relationships, raising children and spiritual maturity are dependant not on interlect, but rather on wisdom. The Bible, which devotes the whole book of Proverbs to the subject, teaches that the wisdom to master life's challenges and to understand spiritual truth is found only in God. In Proverbs 4:1-13 Learn to be wise, and develop good judgment. Wisdom can be aquired through dilligent search and obedience to God. in 1 Kings 3:5-14 Give me an understanding mind so that I can know the difference between right and wrong. Solomon made wisdom and understanding the priority of his life with God. In James 1:5 we that If you need wisdom, ask him and he will gladly tell you. We receive wisdom when we seek it's source God. In Psalm 119:96-106 Your commands make me wiser than my enemies,for your commands are my constant guide. Gods word is an unending source of wisdom for those who apply themselves to study. In 1 Corinthians 1:19-21 I will destroy human wisdom and discard there most brilliant ideas. Spritual wisdom allows us to avoid the folly of the world's wisdom. In Proverbs 5:1-6 we read Pay attention to my wisdom. Then you will learn to be descreet. Wisdom prtects the wise from evil. Our lord himself states in Matthew 7:24-27 Anyone who listens to my teaching and obeys me iswise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Wisdom allows us to build our lives on a firm foundation. Gods Promise to us a committed Christians is God offers wisdom to all who desire it. Proverbs 1:23; James 1:5.
