Wisdom does not just happen or come
naturally. It comes to those who live
and learn. It is observing and applying
to life what we learn so that we are better people than we were before. We learn from the mistakes others make and we
learn from our own mistakes. Wisdom is
making changes in our thinking and living as we discover newer and better ways
to live. Wisdom comes to those who do
not just “go with the flow” in life, but who deliberately strive to do those
things which make them a better person.
Wisdom gives a person confidence and a positive approach to living.
Wisest are those who
are spiritually wise. It is a wonderful
thing when God’s children learn well how to live life in Christ. Those who are spiritually wise are students
of God’s Word. They do not just read the
Word for the sake of reading it, but they read it to learn about God and His
ways. They read it with a desire to
learn new things so that they can live more godly lives.
Those who are
spiritually wise do not neglect their prayer time. They make it a point to spend time alone with
God. They pray not only to be heard, but
they pray to worship. They develop a
mindset of praise and thanksgiving as they pray. They meditate on the awesomeness of God. They pray often just to have fellowship with
God. They learn to enjoy being in the
presence of God.
The spiritually wise
do not neglect Christian fellowship.
They learn to appreciate the faith of others and enjoy the fellowship of
other believers. They learn that other
like-minded believers are the best people on earth to know and fellowship with.
The spiritually wise
are actively serving the Lord. They are
those who have learned that it is far better to give than receive.
They grow to appreciate the opportunities the Lord gives them to
do good amongst man. They seek to serve
the Lord because they love Him and desire to honor and glorify Him. They have learned that there is no greater
joy in life than to be ambassadors for Christ in the world.
Those who are spiritually wise are easily
recognizable in the world. There is joy
in their souls and it shows. They are
known for their righteousness and compassion.
They are gracious in how they deal with others. They are quick to forgive and slow to
judge. They are a people after God’s own
heart.
