Give … Wisdom
Do you want to be counted wise, to build a reputation for wisdom? Here's what you do: Live well, live wisely, live humbly. It's the way you live, not the way you talk, that counts. Real wisdom, God's wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. Jas 3:13,17
Knowing what is right is like deep water in the heart; a wise person draws from the well within. Pr 20:5
We all desire to be wise – make wise decisions, think wise thoughts, speak wise words. We sometimes think that if we can just gain enough knowledge, we’ll eventually become wiser. But knowledge is merely the circumference of wisdom, only coating the surface. Wisdom comes from a deeper place – a place of continuous spirituality, a place of deep, contemplative thought, and a place of prudent, ethical choices.
Wisdom is skillful intelligence that not only contains essential natural qualities, but contains the unnatural breath of the Eternal Creator. Wisdom is the place where heaven touches earth and the very essence of God is shared.
Father-God, fill me to overflowing with Your Spirit, create in me a clean, wise heart so that I may share with deep understanding and conviction.
