SCRIPTURE: This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
James 3:15-17
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Life is meaningful only with wisdom.
A major secret of great men in Scripture was wisdom. Wisdom is so important that even Jesus could not do without it. The Scripture confirms that Jesus was filled with wisdom (Luke 2:40).
Now, understanding wisdom is a necessity. It is crucial to understand wisdom for the following reasons:
- Wisdom is the Principal Thing
Proverbs 4:7 says,
“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.”
Wisdom is one of the most fundamental necessities of life. Life is meaningful only with wisdom, and where wisdom is lacking, meaning is also lacking. - Wisdom is Superior to Weapons of War
Ecclesiastes 9:18 says,
“Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good.”
Wisdom will do for you what weapons cannot do. A person can carry heavy weapons, but without wisdom, they can die cheaply. Without wisdom, a person can become a cheap casualty in life. - Wisdom is Key to Above-Only Existence
Proverbs 8:14-15 says,
“Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.”
If you will reign in any area of life, it is by wisdom. You only dominate in life through wisdom. The lack of wisdom is the reason why people are being dominated in life.
Now, in Scripture, there are examples of people who became principal persons through wisdom. One such example was Moses.
Moses had the wisdom that he could impart Joshua (Deuteronomy 34:9). A man can only give what he has. Moses must be a wise man to have laid that wisdom upon Joshua. By the wisdom of God, Moses was able to rehearse the history of creation that happened a long time before he was born.
Beloved, I decree the release of the wisdom of God on your life, in Jesus’ Name.
Remember this: Life is meaningful only with wisdom.
