Devotion:
All of these verses talk about wisdom from God and how precious it is for each of us. God is the author and source of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. Listening and praying for wisdom from God helps guide us in making right decisions for situations, dilemmas, and solutions. Godly wisdom can help us discern truth, good, and righteousness. Wisdom is not measured by IQ, degrees, or achievements.
God gives wisdom generously to all who seek the wisdom that comes from Him. We should obey the scriptures to strive for wisdom and earnestly desire it. We should never forget that wisdom is a gift from God.
Jesus is the supreme example of a man whose life exuded wisdom. All who are saved by grace through faith can rejoice in Christ who showed his father’s wisdom. Not only was He the Word of God made flesh, but He is incarnate wisdom and became for us wisdom from God. He became for us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. How joyous we will be as we continue to seek God’s wisdom and try to live it out.
Personal Worship Option:
Dear God, Help us to read your word and look and listen for your wisdom as we live our lives. We want to be faithful followers of Christ. Amen.
