LISTEN NOW! John, Steve and Pat discuss the tremendous blessing of having God’s wisdom in our life. They continue to remind us how many are seeking knowledge and although knowledge has its place it is important for us to have wisdom. Knowledge alone is information but when Godly wisdom accompanies knowledge then we know how to apply the knowledge we have received. In this moment of wisdom, Proverbs 8 speaks of wisdom as a woman crying out in the streets for the simple to listen. Proverbs 8:6-11 says, “Listen, for I have trustworthy things to say; I open my lips to speak what is right. My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness. All the words of my mouth are just; none of them is crooked or perverse. To the discerning all of them are right; they are upright to those who have found knowledge. Choose my instruction instead of silver, knowledge rather than choice gold, for wisdom is more precious than rubies, and nothing you desire can compare with her.” Like Solomon we have a great need for wisdom. It is important to abide and to seek the Lord for wisdom and allow the word of God to go through you as opposed to you going through the word. God will reveal himself and his ways to you. Jesus said in Matthew 11:25 “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.” They continue to share how so much is shared in the Bible regarding children mainly that we must become like them to inherit the kingdom. Children just believe and trust God and his wisdom. Often times the more one knows the more they defend what they know instead of resting on the wisdom of the Lord. We are tremendously blessed when we follow the wisdom of God.
