Verse for the Day by Dorothy Callies
Proverbs 2:6 “For
the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.”
[KJV]
It would be good
to know the meaning of the word, wisdom and to be able to appreciate God’s Word
even more. The word, wisdom means 1a: learning acquired over a period of time:
KNOWLEDGE b: ability to see beneath the surface of things: INSIGHT c: good
sense: JUDGMENT 2: a wise attitude, belief, or course of action [Dictionary: Franklin
Merriam-Webster technology].
So wisdom has
three things: knowledge, insight, and judgment. All three comes together so
that is called wisdom. I never thought of that before. So the Lord gives wisdom:
when wisdom enter into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto your soul.
[Prov. 2:10]
I have an index
card taped to my little lamp on the left side. It says, “If you, any of you
lack wisdom, let him ask of God that giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth
not; it shall be given him. Let him ask in faith, nothing wavering (James 1:5-6
KJV). Many times I pray and ask God to help me with the study of His Word and
to work on Manna.
“If you need
wisdom—if you want to know what God wants you to do—ask Him and He will gladly
tell you. He will not resent your asking” (NLT). Imagine that! God will gladly
tell you. He will not get mad at you. This is what I love about Him. He gives
liberally and upbraided not means He gives freely and He will not scold you for
asking Him.
Paul, the writer
of Epistle, did asked the Lord three times to remove some kind of the problems he had. God gave Paul wisdom to understand why God gives grace and
strength in weakness. It was the power of God that revealed in Paul. Then Paul
gladly accepted it. Paul learned the wisdom of God in all things that were
hidden in God.
So only when God’s
wisdom enters our hearts which are our inward motive, desires and thoughts, it
will produce life and power. The Holy Spirit works within our souls and to make
God’s Words and His ways a delight to us.
Prayer: Dear
God, we are grateful for the help that You are so ready and willing to give us
wisdom when we ask You. Help us to be willing and ready to help others. In
Jesus’ Name. Amen. (Bread Card
Prayer)
So let us trust
God today!
Song: After All
He’s Done for Me
After all He’s
done for me,
After all He’s done for me,
How can I do
less than give Him my best
and live for Him completely
After all He’s
done for me.
(Inspiring Choruses)
