Thoughts for another day

Sept. 11, 2013.

Today's verse: Pro. 2:6. For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. (KJV)

(Pls. read the above before you read further.  Thanks)

Wisdom: that attribute which enables a man to do what’s inconceivable and what’s perceived by others to be difficult.  When wisdom in a man talks, others pause and listen; when wisdom ratifies a man, then there’s nothing that can undo it and the man who possesses wisdom is rooted firmly to the ground and he becomes the model others wish to follow.  Haven’t we seen that when a man talks with wisdom, we really wish we could be like him.

Wisdom comes only from God.  Though all men are born alike in almost every physical and mental attribute, what differentiates the men who succeed and those who don’t, is simply wisdom.  In the Bible we have Solomon who was endowed with wisdom from God and his reign was the high point in Jewish history which was never again paralleled by anyone else.  Such a glorious period was it that at that time, even silver was made by him to be as stone cf. 1 Kgs. 10:27.  Such can be the power of wisdom.

Although men may choose money or gold or things that seem to be of value, wisdom is priceless.  Money, gold, etc. have their limited value, but there can never be a value attached to wisdom.  Now, as I said, it’s a gift that comes from God and out of His mouth flow knowledge and understanding and we know that both knowledge and understanding make the difference between the ordinary and the special.  So crave today for wisdom my friend for God gives it to all who ask; so that in asking for it, you may be pleasing to Him who knows that if you’re a man seeking wisdom, then surely you would keep yourself far from wrong and consequently sin and then be found walking in His path.
