Divine Wisdom

GREETINGS,
 
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ANYONE SAY, "I DON'T NEED ANY MORE WISDOM."   NOW WE DON'T BELIEVE ANY REASONABLE PERSON WOULD EVEN THINK SUCH A THING, LET ALONE SAY IT.  BUT THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, IN A GENTLY WAY ASK THE QUESTION:  "IF ANY OF YOU LACKS WISDOM, HE SHOULD ASK GOD, WHO GIVES GENEROUSLY TO ALL WITHOUT FINDING FAULT, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO HIM."  JAMES 1:5  
 
THIS IS ONE TIME WE SHOULD NOT HESITATE, BECAUSE GOD WANTS SO MUCH FOR US TO ASK, THAT HE HAS GIVEN US THIS PROMISE; THAT HE WILL NOT FIND FAULT WITH US FOR ASKING,  AND THAT HE WILL GIVE TO US GENEROUSLY. 
 
WISDOM IS A WORD THAT HAS BEEN LOST IN OUR CULTURE, OR REPLACED BY INSIGHT, INTELLIGENCE, KNOWLEDGE, INTELLECT, LEARNING, ETC.  HOWEVER, NONE OF THESE IS WISDOM.  WISDOM IS THE ABILITY TO USE KNOWLEDGE, TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISIONS, AND IT IS DISCERNING.  THE SCRIPTURES TEACH US THAT THERE IS SAFETY IN WISDOM; WISDOM TO KEEP US ON THE RIGHT PATH, AND I BELIEVE THAT IS WHY THE GOOD SHEPHERD WANTS TO GIVE US WISDOM.
 
PROVERBS 2:9-15  "THEN YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT IS RIGHT AND JUST AND FAIR - EVERY GOOD PATH.  FOR WISDOM WILL ENTER YOUR HEART, AND KNOWLEDGE WILL BE PLEASANT TO YOUR SOUL.  DISCRETION WILL PROTECT YOU, AND UNDERSTANDING WILL GUARD YOU.  WISDOM WILL SAVE YOU FROM THE WAYS OF WICKED MEN....WHO LEAVE THE STRAIGHT PATHS TO WALK IN DARK WAYS....WHOSE PATHS ARE CROOKED AND WHO ARE DEVIOUS IN THEIR WAYS."
 
BECAUSE JESUS WANTS THE VERY BEST FOR US, HE WANTS TO GIVE US HIS WISDOM.  ASK HIM TODAY, BE BLESSED AND REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE LOVED!!!
