IN THIS, GOD KNOWS YOU NEED WISDOM (1)

Sin of any type is not something you should ever want to manage, it is something you should flee from and always despise at all times. “So be careful. If you are thinking, Oh, I would never behave like that, let this be a warning to you. For you too may fall into sin. But remember this, the wrong desires that come into your life aren’t anything new and different. Many others have faced exactly the same problems before you. And no temptation is irresistible. You can trust God to keep the temptation from becoming so strong that you can’t stand up against it, for He has promised this and will do what He says. He will show you how to escape temptation’s power so that you can bear up patiently against it. So, dear friends, carefully avoid idol worship of every kind.” 1 Corinthians 10:12-14. God will not let you down; He has no intention that you fail or make you a failure. He will give you the wisdom you need to overcome this present situation.

God’s wisdom is always followed by God’s divine intervention in a supernatural way when you decide to follow it, submit to it, and depend on it till the end. His wisdom will not only lead you through, but it will bless you, keep you from engaging in sin, and will prevent you from continuing in evil if you will follow its instructions. His wisdom comes through divine instructions as written in His words, not through imaginations; God’s wisdom is seen in all His precepts, in all of His commandments, and in His manner of love to all men. His wisdom gives life and keeps one from being overtaken by temptation and evil self desires in the heart or mind.

I want you to know that there are things you cannot overcome by your power and knowledge and will never be able to overcome in life unless God gives you the needed wisdom to see them rightly and handle them rightly. There are things that knowledge and learning, and wealth cannot help us to overcome in life except God gives us wisdom and power to do them. Suffering, pains, sickness, loneliness, lack, and shame are things people are going through daily and need the wisdom to handle and overcome them. God does not want us to manage adversity, He wants us to overcome them and that requires His wisdom, not knowledge.

In all things, and in all aspects of living, wisdom is indispensable and God wants to give it to you in great measure. He knows the present needs in your life spiritually and physically and none is beyond His ability to help you get them right. Wisdom has the power to distinguish you, lead you, keep you, deliver you, and elevate you. But the wisdom from God is not cheap and will not come to you just like that. Solomon asked for wisdom and he was given, and when he ignored the precepts of God and depended on his wisdom, he strayed from grace. While God wants you to always have and work in His wisdom, He does not want you to stray from His presence, from His precepts, from His commandments, and from His grace. This is the admonition from the word of God as Solomon asked for wisdom and as also we seek God’s wisdom; “And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said unto him because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment Behold, I have done according to thy words, lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honor so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days.” 1 Kings 3:10-14. In seeking God’s wisdom, our state of heart is very important as well as our intents, thoughts, imaginations, and desires. Asking God wisdom to do that which is contrary to His plans for you or others will not please Him. We need to check the state of heart, get rid of bitterness and anger, and follow His precepts.
