'Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known'
(Proverbs 14:33).
There is the wisdom of man which manifest self and the wisdom of God which is the manifestation of the will of God. Godly wisdom manifest the spirit of God and solidify the existence of God. When we possess godly understanding there is no need to boast about wisdom. Fools brag about their knowledge of wisdom, when in fact they have none, if they have no true knowledge of God.
The Bible regards a fool as one who ignores godly wisdom and truth, in favour of their own preferences, beliefs and biases.
The Bible states that the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (1 Corinthians 3:19).
When we choose to do God's will and abide with his principles, we are wise and have unfailing security. While those who choose not to comply with the will of God and reject his wisdom are foolish and have no security in Him.
We see all through Scriptures, that there is no middle ground; either you serve God or Satan. We see the contrast here of those who are considered wise and those who are fools.
All who are considered wise, have a godly knowledge and understanding of God; has humility and keeps his wisdom in his heart. They are content to listen and have few words and used discretion.
Those considered as fools, display ignorance and presumption; are full of pride; conceited and lack discretion; causing them to pour out folly inside.
Let us therefore examine ourselves, our hearts to see which category we fall in. One of having godly wisdom in our hearts to fulfil God's purpose for our lives, or having the wisdom full of pride and folly coming from our heart which self-centered.
Wisdom rest in the heart of one that has understanding. Do you have wisdom and understanding in your heart? How do others perceive you?
Let us seek and fear God.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and understanding.
It behoves us to fill our hearts with wisdom from heaven. It will bring great rewards and fit us for is for heaven. Ask of God if anyone lack wisdom, he promised to give it.
Let us be humble and committed to acquiring knowledge and wisdom, that we may be able to speak the words of truth to all who ask of us.
We have no need to boast of our wisdom to others, or let them know we have attained it every opportunity we get.
Having godly wisdom is about communicating our knowledge to others at the proper time, in the proper place and to the right persons.
Have a wonderful day
Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...
