Wisdom – Knowing What To Do

THURSDAY 27 FEBRUARY 2025 

TOPIC: Wisdom – Knowing What To Do 

SCRIPTURE: When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do. John 6:5-6.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Wisdom is knowing what to do. It has been established that one easy way to know whether you are working in wisdom or not is by looking at the gains or losses you experience in life. It doesn’t matter how much expertise you claim to possess, what to consider is whether you are having gains or experiencing losses in life? This can also be applied to the church setting. If people are going to a particular church, but if it does not translate into growth for the church, it means there is a sort of wisdom that is lacking somewhere. There is something the person is not doing that should be done. The church might even be growing financially, but there is no numerical growth. This shows that a particular kind of wisdom is lacking. John 6:5-6 says,

 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? And this he said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.

In John 6, when Jesus multiplied bread for the multitude, He first asked his disciples where to get enough bread, but he asked the question to prove them because he already knew what to do. So, wisdom is knowing what to do. Then, Jesus took the bread and multiplied the loaves. After everyone had eaten and were filled, he instructed them to gather the fragments that remained, that nothing be lost. The gathering of the fragments is another manifestation of wisdom.

There are no losses in wisdom. Where wisdom is at work, nothing can be lost.

Remember this: Wisdom is knowing what to do.

ASSIGNMENT:

1. When you don’t know what to do, ask God for wisdom.
2. Consistently trust God to experience the manifestation of divine wisdom.

PRAYER: Father, I ask that You teach me what to do at any point in time. I receive the grace to connect with Your Wisdom, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
