“Looking At God’s Wisdom”
 
Heavenly wisdom
by Dona Hake
 
 
 
God’s wisdom is pure and untainted. God wants to bestow upon us His pure wisdom as we humbly desire and ask for it.   My friends, we  need it for every area of our life. 
 
 

James 3:17 (The Voice)

“Heavenly wisdom centers on purity,
peace, gentleness, deference, mercy,
and other good fruits untainted by hypocrisy.”
 
 
The dictionary defines wisdom as  knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight.    We all  know that there is worldly wisdom, and James speaks of worldly wisdom as being evil and devilish at times.    As believers God desires that we look to walk in His wisdom, but we must understand what it is.   When we ask God for His wisdom He desires to bless us with pure thoughts and good judgement. His wisdom is full of mercy, peace, and gentleness. His ways and answers are not harsh or hypocritical.
 

There will be times in this life that we may be encountered with questions that are too difficult to give answers to. As believers we can feel that we always have to have answers for people’s questions and problems, and there will be those times in which  we could find ourselves at loss for words. In those times that we lack knowing the answers to questions we need to humbly admit that we do not know.  In saying that we do not know the answer, we can proclaim that  we KNOW the One who does have every answer we need, and He is faithful to answer the prayer of a righteous man or woman. 

 
As you ask God for His precious wisdom for any situation, believe by faith that it is going to flow toward you, and flow forth from you as pure fresh living water. This is what we need and this is what people around us need…not our opinions, not our experiences, but rather the pure, life giving wisdom that comes only from above.  Today we thank You Lord for giving us Your sweet wisdom that flows from Your heart to us that we may live and walk closer to You!
