HOW DOES ONE GET WISDOM ??


Unlike the knowledge that we gain throughout our everyday process of humanistic behavior, wisdom can not not be achieved unless one asks God for it by making his word applicable to their life. What does this mean? This means that unless one is living holy and fall under willful subjection to the Lord and his commands, it is virtually impossible for someone to claim that they are wise because their thoughts do not come from God. Does this mean that you can be of old age and still lack wisdom and knowledge? It most certainly does and just because you have increased in years does not mean that you have increased in wisdom and knowledge because the understanding that one gains form the world is completely different from the revelation that is given by God. Let us look at this for a second before we apply a little scripture to back up this truth. O.K. , God created the heavens and the earth and everything he made he considered to be good, however when God made the heavens and the earth he had to have wisdom, which allowed him to know what it took for the world to exist as it does today, knowledge which allowed him to know how deep (separate) the ocean floor had to be in order for there to be a beach and understanding to make all things work to perfection. (There are many other examples which demonstrate God's knowledge.)
Nevertheless wisdom is different from modern technical knowledge that people prize. The reason being is because it comes from GOD (the source) who is the only one who can provide wisdom. We can not expect to get anything truly good through the world's way and GOD's way because he wants to supply what we lack. In closing, I leave you with this scripture to support these words of truth from James 1:5; If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to ALL without finding fault, and it will be given to him.

Fruit for thought:
It takes Wisdom to know what or what not to do, Knowledge to Separate (Heaven and Earth, Sun and Moon or Truth versus Lies) and understanding to make it work. God Bless !!!
