92 - Understanding Wisdom

Hello Wisdom ~ Welcome into my heart.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Wisdom is the main thing. With God's Word the end is determined. Wisdom is a parachute you use to bail out before the airplane crashes. Agreeing with God is wisdom. You need to understand that.

Wisdom is the Principal Thing

The greatest need of mankind is an understanding of wisdom. Wisdom has its source in God. God made all things using wisdom in every thing. He wants us to understand His wisdom. God's wisdom is seen in common sense and insight. His word was spoken in this fashion. Look at this. Psalms 119:104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

Proverbs 4:5 Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. 6 Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. (Wisdom is the guard who stands at the gate and fights for you to preserve the peace in your heart.) 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.

God's word is forever settled in heaven. It is wise to treat it as such. Buy the truth and sell it not. Esau was not wise in selling his birthright for a bite of food. He profaned his God given portion. Proverbs 16:16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver!

1. Wisdom is a trait of using knowledge and experience with common sense and insight.
2. Wisdom is an ability to apply ~ knowledge ~ experience ~ understanding ~ and common sense ~ with insight.
3. Wisdom is the quality of having a sound mind and being prudent and sensible.

Psalms 27:14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Use wisdom in all you understand. USE IT. Wait on the LORD. Ask yourself ~ where is the wisdom in what I am doing? The Bigger Question ~ What am I doing? Agreeing with God in all things is wisdom. He has the final say in everything we do. His Word He will do and we will have to bow to it.

Understanding wisdom is wisdom itself. If you have wisdom and do not know how to use it you have only thoughts on paper. You have a Bible you do not understand. You have a Jesus you cannot reach ~ and He cannot reach you. You are out of reach.

Wisdom puts eyes in your toes. His word is a lamp to your feet, a light on your path. We stumble over things we do not see. Luke 11:36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. You can see where you are walking. Another person doesn't need to tell you ~ pick um up.

There is wisdom in training a child in the way he should go. It will save you heartaches. The other side of that is a disobedient child who refuses instructions. Be sure his sins will find him out. Your duty then is to pray and watch. The prodigal finally came home. He needed to be forgiven and welcomed back home. If you have a lost loved one watch ~ pray in earnest ~ plan for a celebration.

There is nothing like the wisdom of knowing that you know. The wisdom in the Bible gives you this knowledge. God's Word is forever settled in heaven. It will not return unto Him Void. Good common sense tells you it will do its purpose. When I was in the Air Force I came back from a flight ~ tossed my unused parachute on the rigger's counter ~ He said: What's the matter Sergeant, didn't it work?
