Proverbs 14:33-35 33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding: but that which is in the midst of fools is made known. 34 Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people. 35 The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.
Are you the type of person who attempts to exalt others, everywhere you go; setting standards for his people, through godly example? Your goal, when the opportunity rise is to bring them up higher in the goodness of God’s Word, Will, Way with sound doctrine, according to God’s wisdom. (Colossians 4:5-6 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone). Or are you the type of person who brings corruption, carnage, and chaos; refusing to use wisdom as a catalyst for knowledge gained, showing a lack of effort or care about the future of self or those around you? (Proverbs 18:2 Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions).
We must understand that wisdom, God’s Wisdom, is the true champion in our search for completeness, in His plan for our life. It is the ability to discern or judge and use wisely what is true, right, or lasting. In our world today wisdom has been all but forgotten when making decisions and determination when it comes to living. We need to pray for much wisdom because we have gotten off the love, kindness, patience, and gentle tract requiring our ability to use wisdom in all we do. And we have gotten on the must gain as much knowledge as possible (especially worldly knowledge), yet we do not know how to use it (wisdom). Wisdom should not be confused with knowledge, but most people do. You can have a great amount of knowledge yet if you do not have the wisdom to decern and understand, in a righteous way, it is just that knowledge; where will excessive knowledge lead you if you are not wise in how to use it. So, don’t confuse wisdom with knowledge but know that it is the righteous capacity to make appropriate use of it. (Proverbs 15:33 Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord, and humility comes before honor. Proverbs 2:6 For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Matthew 7:24 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. James 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 3:17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere).
Let’s take a look at a man who did not ask God for silver nor gold, land, a big house, all the riches and wealth he could think of (as most would do) but he asked for wisdom, knowledge, and the understanding of it all; how to rule, be fair and just, and all the other attributes of a righteous king. The fact that Solomon asked God to give him (not just knowledge) but wisdom, (the insight on how to apply the knowledge effectively), God granted him things like riches, wealth, and honor; his priority was in the right place, his heart. (1 Kings 3:8-14 8 And thy servant is in the midst of thy people which thou hast chosen, a great people, that cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 9 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? 10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. 11 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; 12 Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. 13 And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. 14 And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days).
In these simple verses, you can see how a God’s rule and standard have been established for our lives. It is comprised of two alternatives; to receive wisdom; to gain knowledge in order to walk circumspectly in His Word. There is no area of compromise or possible agreement between these two extreme positions; you first need to obtain wisdom to be able to execute the knowledge you have gained in a righteous way. Because the common denominator between the two is understanding. There are two reasons or motives that urges, moves, or impels the mind to act or decide, each with its own effect; wisdom, to discern or judge and use wisely what is true, right, or lasting; knowledge, information gained through experience, reasoning, or acquaintance. Knowledge can and in this world today, often does, exist without wisdom; you can be knowledgeable without being wise. But true wisdom cannot exist without knowledge; you must be knowledgeable of the subject you put your effort into, to discern, judge, and use it wisely. A very good example of this is “knowledge is knowing how to use a gun; wisdom is knowing when to use it and when to keep it holstered.”
A righteous (one of the chief attributes of God) man can exalt a nation and rise to a higher rank or power, in God’s plan, with Godly wisdom, whereas a foolish man will tear it down and destroy it with worldly knowledge. So, therefore, we must gain wisdom, from the All-wise God and as we receive knowledge, we will be able to understand it and do the righteous thing with it. (Leviticus 19:36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt. Deuteronomy 25:1 If there be a controversy between men, and they come unto judgment, that the judges may judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked. Psalm 1:6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish. Proverbs 8:20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment). GODS GOT IT NO WORRY NO FEAR.
