Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom

Knowledge, Understanding and Wisdom

As I think about Wisdom, I am reminded of James 1:5 “If any of you lack wisdom, he should ask of God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”  We learn to have knowledge and to understand but we need wisdom to exercise what we know and believe.

After the death of David, his son, Solomon was crowned the next King of Israel, and that night after Solomon had sacrificed onto the Lord and gave God all the glory and allegiance; God appeared to him in a dream and asked him to chose anything he desired and God would grand it. Solomon could have asked for riches or a long life, but instead he requested a heart of understanding so that he might have wisdom how to deal justly with the people. God was pleased because the request was not selfish, but wise, so God said, I will grant onto you special wisdom, but because you did not ask for wealth and a long life, I will also give you that as well

From the 1 Kings, Chapter 3, We find Solomon with an opportunity to test his wisdom: Two prostitutes living in the same house, each the mother of an infant son, came to Solomon. One of the babies had died, and each claimed the remaining boy as her own. Calling for a sword, Solomon declared his judgment: the baby would be cut in two, each woman to receive half. One mother did not contest the ruling; and she declared, yes do it for if she could not have the baby then neither of them could, but the other woman begged Solomon, "Give the baby to her, just don't kill him!"

The king declared the second woman the true mother, as a real mother would be willing to give up her baby if that was necessary to save its life.  "All Israel heard of the verdict that the king had rendered, and they stood in awe of the king because they perceived the wisdom of God was in him to do justice."

Today we realize we need supernatural wisdom above all else; in order to deal with all that is going on in this world. We are not a rebellious people, but we are wise enough to understand that all we are being told is not what the true plans are for not just the American people, and Christians especially, but for the entire world.

Satan is working through many of those in Congress and the Senant, to disrupt our nation, and although we understand only in part, and for the most part disagree with a lot of what we are being told, we are not to criticize and find fault with our leaders.

Instead we are to pray that our political parties will have wisdom to work together for solutions instead of forming committees to enrich their own agenda and to make plans to disrupt the leadership of our President.

One thing that is evident is because of this virus, and the seemingly need to shut down businesses, we are being left with options that are scary at best.

Closing of churches has left the communities without a place to congregate and worship, and for many it is having an effect on their emotions and their mental outlook.

The general public is not aware what is actually going on, and it is evident that Satan is having a field day, spreading fear and havoc with financial hardship. However we as born again believers have inside information that brings us peace.

When we see the sword coming down to cut the church in half, giving half to the world and half to the Christians, we must not falter. I am not saying give the world the church, because the true mother regained her child. So let us acknowledge that we will not be satisfied with half, but we must understand that we are the church and we will remain whole and trust Jesus to keep us held safely to his breast.

As we pray over our city, our State, Nation and our world, may we ask God; that minds will remember what they have heard in the past about Jesus, and that there will be repentance in the hearts of those in high places.who have been wicked with their many sins, including abortion, and unspeakable activities of reproach.

I am reminded of the verse we have been hearing quite a lot: If my people will repent, and humble themselves and call out to God, He will hear their cry and he will heal our land.

As we read and study our Bible we will discover God's wisdom and also The Holy Spirit offers to the Born again believers, supernatural gifts which include; Special Wisdom, Special knowledge, and miraculous healings. 

 May God grant us his gifts and in this day above all else let us be wise as Solomon and not just use “Common Sense,” but utilize our God given Wisdom that comes from above.
