Wisdom, it comes in two main flavors; earthly , and spiritual, and both of these have been given to us by God as a means of doing His business. The first is so that we can understand Him through His creation, and the second so that we might understand Him better through His Son Jesus, but in both cases we suffer as we gain in it.
Sometimes we are healed by Jesus, and don’t know where the healing actually came from. Quite often we encounter people who have been saved by their faith, and yet they know very little about God, or Jesus Christ. Don’t judge a person’s faith in Christ based on their knowledge, or education in the scripture... Jesus loved the children in faith just as He did His disciples.
How do you believe? Do you believe because you have leaned on your own understanding, and reasoned Jesus Christ to be true, or do you believe because your heart has led you to him? Faith and belief that flow from our own reasoning places God in the realm of man, but faith and belief welling up into us out of the depths of our hearts is delivered from the realm of God through Jesus Christ. Who rules your faith?
How is it that we presume to know the mind of God? We think that by reading through God’s Word a single time that we have understanding of Him, and yet each time we revisit scripture something new is revealed to us about Him. Even scripture we have read many times over becomes new to us if we keep our hearts and minds open to His voice. How presumptuous are you?
Every day I begin my prayers with an expression of love for God, then a plea for my forgiveness of sin, followed by my thanks for His many blessings, and next I ask for three things I would like to talk about today... wisdom, knowledge, and intelligence. Do you ask the Lord for these things? Not that you should receive them in a worldly sense, but more-so in a spiritual sense... Do you desire supernatural enlightenment in understanding God’s will for you this day?
