Wisdom helps us to
succeed. In fact, without wisdom we will
not succeed. Wisdom is the ability to
take what we know and make good use of it in our lives so that we become better
people. It requires humility and the
willingness to make changes in our behavior and thinking when it is necessary. Wisdom is learning to work on our weaknesses
and to shore up our strengths. It is
gained on the foundation of dedicated work.
Spiritual wisdom
doesn’t just happen because we have faith.
It comes to those who are fully surrendered to the Lord. The Spirit of Christ gives wisdom to those who
are serious about their walk with the Lord.
It requires from us a committed and consistent study of God’s Word. It requires of us a commitment to worshiping
the Lord. It requires of us letting the
Lord govern our daily living.
Wisdom is the acknowledgement
that all that is good comes from God. It
is recognizing the work of God in all of life and in us. It is not taking for granted the handiwork of
God. It is being grateful for the
blessings of God. It is not blaming God
when things don’t go our way. It is
submitting to God’s authority over us with no strings attached. It is not being satisfied with the status quo
but always seeking to grow in grace and knowledge. Wisdom is stressing those things that help
build us up in faith and staying away from those things which tear us
down. Wisdom is resisting Satan whenever
he endeavors to entice us away from God and into sin.
The key to successful
living in Christ is to seek wisdom. We
need to have an insatiable desire for the Lord and for understanding on how to
live holy lives. Wisdom is the solid
rock upon which faith is built. Wisdom
is found only in Jesus who is our Solid Rock.
