OH LORD, GIVE ME WISDOM

Post date: Oct 29, 2012 4:49:59 AM

Wisdom makes a great difference in the life of every individual and in every human endeavor irrespective of its magnitude. Wisdom is not ordinary, not cheap, not easily acquired and not found on the way side or through any form of education. Everything that is built on divine wisdom will stand the worst test of the most severe trials and will endure every test with outstanding victory. Contrary to ways and thoughts of men, wisdom is costlier than money and more expensive than any amount of wealth. In ever discipline, knowledge is good but it has no place where wisdom is in operation.

We can rightly say today that the knowledge of men is failing fast in every aspect of life despite the increase in knowledge. We see and hear of more confusion, frustration and fear despite the advancement in knowledge and technology, many more people are living in fear than ever before, resources are in limited supply and the needs of men are ever increasing. The wealth of all the nations combined on earth today is not enough to buy the wisdom needed to solve the world’s problem or the problem of a single Nation. Like men, the Nations of the world and their leaders are becoming more confused and fearful every day and the question we have to ask ourselves is: where can we find the wisdom that will lead man out of the mounting mess?

Job in his confusion as a result of the satanic predicament that befell him, diligently seek how to overcome and to get past his problem to where he was before asked; where can he find wisdom? This was because he knew the impact of wisdom in every situation. He said; “[Man] binds the streams so that they do not trickle [into the mine], and the thing that is hidden he brings forth to light. But where shall Wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Man knows not the price of it; neither is it found in the land of the living. The deep says, [Wisdom] is not in me; and the sea says it is not with me. It cannot be gotten for gold; neither shall silver be weighed for the price of it. It cannot be valued in [terms of] the gold of Ophir, in the precious onyx or beryl, or the sapphire. Gold and glass cannot equal [Wisdom], nor can it be exchanged for jewels or vessels of fine gold.” Job 28:11-17

Solomon needed wisdom to solidify his kingdom after he was anointed king and he went to God knowing true and lasting wisdom comes only from Him. Everyone needs wisdom in life, every one want to be like Solomon and everyone need a solution to their problems. The solution to human needs lies in the acquisition of the true and divine wisdom of God. Solomon did not learn wisdom in any institution but by asking the Lord God Almighty and also applying godly principles in his daily life and in every judgment he executed to the people of Israel.

Throughout the bible, we are given just one pathway to lasting and divine wisdom. Job asked the same question again “From where then does Wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding? It is hidden from the eyes of all living, and knowledge of it is withheld from the birds of the heavens. Abaddon (the place of destruction) and Death say, We have [only] heard the report of it with our ears.  God understands the way [to Wisdom] and He knows the place of it [Wisdom is with God alone].” Job 28:20-23. “The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning (the chief and choice part) of Wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight and understanding.” Proverb 9:10. God will not deny you if follow this simple step. God is willing to give you the wisdom that will distinguish in every area of your life.
