March 20, 2012 – Wisdom 8 – 9

Wisdom is everything you are looking for.  Everything that you think you are looking for in other places are found through locating and being with wisdom.  The whole book follows this equation.  Are you looking for A, you will find it through or with Wisdom.  Everything good comes through wisdom and Wisdom is God, perfect and eternal Wisdom. 

We must know that Wisdom is a gift from God.  We must first be humble and know that we are not Wise until we accept God’s gift of Wisdom.  Then, we must be obedient to her guidance.  It does us no good to accept the gift and then choose to ignore it.  We must bow to its command and trust where it leads.  “For who knows God’s counsel, or who can conceive what the Lord intends” (9:13)  We cannot know what the Lord has in store, so we must humbly go along with His plan.  Being obedient to Wisdom that is received is how Wisdom is used.  It is not meant to be given so that we can judge what is best for ourselves.  That is ignoring Wisdom.
