“Fear of the Lord is the foundation of wisdom.” Proverbs 9:10
Wisdom according to the dictionary is” the ability or result of, and the ability to think and act utilizing knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight.“ It is important that we understand that the love of our Lord is the true foundation of wisdom. Knowledge of Him results in good judgement in our lives. Wisdom from our God allows us to see the big picture. It allows us to trust in our Lord and continues to help us build our faith. Wisdom is a God-given and God-centered discernment regarding our issues in this life. Wisdom comes from prayer and asking for His help. God gives generously and without reproach. He wants us to trust him and be able to depend upon him. The wisdom that comes from heaven is “peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere“. James 3:17 Wisdom comes from heaven and the wisdom of God is pure. Jesus taught us that wisdom is listening to him and doing what he says. He will never lead us astray. He will always keep us on the right path and help us to stay safe and within his loving arms of strength. Pride is the enemy of wisdom. We must not allow pride to stand in our way of submission to our Lord. We must always allow him to direct us in our ways. When we do, we know with confidence, that we are in his will and will always be on the right path. Remember, Jesus is our rock and the foundation of our faith! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
