"Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and benefits those who see the sun. Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it." Ecclesiastes 7:11-12
Many are in search of wisdom. Many of us keep asking, "How can I become wise?" Others, ask, "What is the wise thing to do in this situation?" Well, search no more! "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.." Proverbs 1:7. That is where it all starts! Fearing the Lord! This means revering Him, obeying Him and listening to Him keenly. We can only get to know what God requires of us by listening to Him. This is done through reading and studying His word daily. How else can we know His standards? Well, make a point of reading, studying, memorizing and meditating on the Word of God every so often. You will see amazing results!
Wisdom is being kind to someone even when they are rude just because God says so. Wisdom is praying for those who hurt you instead of revenging, because God says so. Wisdom is loving, especially when it is difficult to love, because God says so. Wisdom is giving a gentle answer, in the midst of qualms and quarrels, because God says so. There are many such wisdom nuggets in the word of God. I got my wisdom nuggets today from Eccelsiastes 7. And wow! I think i will do them, just because God says so! This is wisdom!
Be blessed y'all!
