What does wisdom mean to you? Is it something that you associate with some one who is well educated or probably an old person giving out advices on how to live your life based on their life experiences?

We somehow value and respect people with great wisdom. If that is the case, have you ever considered getting wisdom from God? Most often we don’t pursue a relationship with Christ because is we don’t understand the concept of love God has for us. If we understand that concept, more specifically, the depth and magnitude of that love, one would honestly repent.

The key to understand the scripture is the Wisdom you get from God. Not people, podcasts or sermons. But God will use these tools to give you Wisdom. Reading your Bible consistently will trigger these tools to give you Wisdom, by the power of the Holy Spirit. You would be surprised how it will connect the dots for you; gives you insight, discernment and understanding.

If you look at the first few chapters of Proverbs, it gives us a picture of an entire personality around Wisdom. Like a an advertisement campaign, the qualities of Wisdom are described in great detail and why you should get it.

Ephesians Chapter 1 says God grants the “Spirit of Wisdom and revelation” so that we may know Christ better. The way this works is beyond your rational mind. Often times I have asked something in prayer or in a mind conversation with God to know something better, the understanding dawns on me perfectly and grows in my conviction.

Wisdom helps you understand why the Bible was written the way it is.

Wisdom helps you understand the love of God and nature of God.

Wisdom helps you understand why Jesus came to this world, and what it means “For God so loved the world he gave his one and only son” (John 3:16 )

Wisdom helps you understand the faithfulness of God. What does it mean to fear God (Proverbs 9:10). The way the world understand fear is what limits us but fearing God is what liberates us.

Wisdom helps you understand why “eternal life” is mentioned with great importance by Jesus.

Wisdom helps you understand what it means to walk straight in Christ, to enter the narrow road.

Wisdom helps you understand the peace of Christ that transcends all understanding.(Philippians 4:7)

Wisdom helps you understand the right from wrong and what it means to submit to God’s will.

I could go on and on. But if you ask how to get this Wisdom, you just need to ask God. That’s all you need to do. Put aside any rational thoughts and ask with faith and patience.

The first chapter of James tells us to ask God to give us wisdom, who gives “generously“, to all without finding fault. (James 1:5 )If you are someone who is starting your journey in faith or someone who is dispassionate about faith or would rather say you don’t care much. Try this, PRAY FOR WISDOM and see for real.
