Godly wisdom

Topic: Godly wisdom
Text: Job 28:12-28

What is wisdom?
       Wisdom is the ability to know and apply spiritual truths or an element of character that enables one to distinguish wise from the full.
         As a christian we must not be weary for the wisdom of God to be made manifest in our lifes. If we have this i tell you Satan will be in trouble because all our endeavour will lead to success.
       In Prov 16:22, it is written that "Wisdom is the fountain of life to him who has it, but folly is the chastisement of fools." Choose to be wise and you shall be acceptable to everyone. The age doesn't matter when it comes to wisdom. Job 32:9 says "It is not the old that are wise, nor the aged that understand what is right." Jesus Christ our saviour started teaching at an early stage because the wisdom abides in him. We can as well be a greater teacher if only we speak of wisdom.
             
How to find Godly wisdom

             In Job 28:12-28 he says "But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me. It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure. When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out. And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding."
Also Proverbs 9:10 say "The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy one is insight." It is left for you to choose, be it wisdom or foolishness.
     In conclusion, Job 37:24 "Therefore men fear him, he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit." Only the fear of God brings Godly wisdom.
      
Prayer point: God please grant me the heart that seeks and finds your wisdom by the fear of you in Jesus name.
