The Wisdom of God
Your heavenly Father is perfectly wise. Everything He does is perfect. Every thought and idea He has is filled with complete wisdom. What’s more, through the Holy Spirit you have access to that wisdom.
James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to you.”
Your God loves you so much that He’s just waiting to bestow on you His vast wisdom. He never wants you to suffer from a lack of knowledge. So often, we are taught that God only reveals to us what we absolutely have to know right before we need to know it. But that’s not the truth of Scripture. James 1:5 proves that. Your God gives His wisdom “generously!”
Not only is the wisdom of God given to you generously if you ask, but it also has with it incredible attributes.
James 3:17 says, “The wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.”
The wisdom of God will do incredible things for your life. With it comes the very nature of God. James 3:17 could just as easily have said that God is “pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.” So, when you receive the wisdom God bestows upon you, you are receiving many of the attributes of God himself.
The wisdom of God is unlike any other way of thinking you’ll find.
1 Corinthians 3:18-20 says, “Stop deceiving yourselves. If you think you are wise by this world’s standards, you need to become a fool to be truly wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. As the Scriptures say, “He traps the wise in the snare of their own cleverness.” And again, “The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise; He knows they are worthless.’”
Jesus taught us in Matthew 10:39, “Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”
The path He is guiding you to is the way out of the stress that worldly ambition and success will assuredly cause. He’s guiding you to a life of abundant peace. When you forgo the wisdom of this world for His, you will undoubtedly appear more foolish to some. But you will have found a way of living free from the burdens of the world. God’s wisdom leads you to a life truly hidden with Christ, lost in the sea of His love and mercy.
Ask God for His wisdom today. Read His Word with the guidance of the Spirit. God is waiting patiently to reveal everything you have the desire to seek out.
Proverbs 25:2 says, “It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out.”
Ask Him for His wisdom today, and live the abundant life God has planned for you.

The wisdom of God won’t do much for you if you don’t choose to implement God’s thinking over the world’s. If you continuously work for the favor of man and worldly success in light of what you know to be God’s truth, you will continue to experience the consequences of a life lived foolishly. God’s Word must be implemented to produce fruit. You have to choose to live in light of your position in Christ for transcendent peace to become the norm in your life. God gives wisdom to you freely when you ask. The question before you today is simply whether or not you will choose to trust God and implement it.
