Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom,
and with all thy getting, get understanding (Proverbs 4:7,).
True wisdom is of the Spirit. It’s more than the mere application of knowledge as many often define it. There are those who can theorize and astound you with the vastness of their knowledge, yet that doesn't mean they're wise. Wisdom is a compelling force. It makes you do the things you should do, and say the things you should say excellently and at the right time. It causes you to function beyond your human reasoning. When a man lacks the wisdom of God, he'll think the wrong thoughts, say the wrong words, do the wrong things, and make the wrong choices. But when divine wisdom works in you, you make accurate choices and judgments without having to reason them out first. No wonder the Apostle Paul said, “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). Wisdom is that controlling power that works in us, not just to will, but also to do the will of God. It’s the compelling force that causes you to walk with divine insight in God's perfect will for your life.
Thanks be unto God, who has made divine wisdom available to you in Christ: “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom...” (1 Corinthians 1:30). Thus, that compelling force to think, act, and function at a high level of excellence has been made available to you in Christ. Recognize and take advantage of it today.
