Greetings and welcome to Living Supernaturally, thank you so much for giving us this opportunity to spend time in God's word and a few moments in prayer as well. This week, we'll be looking at the book of Proverbs and gaining insights from this marvelous book. Today, we'll talk about wisdom, life's essential element. Proverbs chapter 3 and verse 19, ‘by wisdom the Lord laid the earth's foundation, by understanding he set the heavens in place.’ Setting a foundation for anything can be difficult and sometimes is a complicated task, whether it's constructing a house, engineering a bridge, laying down a pavement for a new road or installing a wall; a foundation is essential for whatever is being made. Proverbs tells us that the Lord God, our creator founded the heavens and the earth by wisdom and understanding. What exactly is the writer saying here? The New Testament gives some clarity on this. Now that Jesus has come, the mysteries of God has been revealed and as apostle Paul puts it in Colossians chapter 1, verse 16, he says, ‘in Him, all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, all things have been created through Him and for Him.’ The apostle John also notes that in the beginning was the word and that through Him all things were made. What’s more, the word became flesh and made His dwelling among us and He is the Son who came from the Father full of grace and truth. Wisdom is characterized as someone who reposes or comes to rest in the hearts of people who are discerning. We all desire that wisdom should come and rest in our hearts, that truth and grace and goodness would take up residence inside of us, within us and bring us peace. The beautiful reality of faith in Jesus Christ is that this has actually happened. Wisdom has come to live and reign in our hearts through God's Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives within us and a Spirit who reveals all truth and wisdom to us because His primary task is to help us live like Jesus. What a privilege, living in a world with information at our fingertips, we must learn that knowledge is something that we need but wisdom applied with compassion in Christ is far more valuable. It includes an awareness of God's laws and concern for a life called, for obedience and discipline even when doing things that may be difficult. Jesus showed us the way by submitting to His Father's will, He is our example. Let us pray, Father, we want to thank you for your word. We thank you that you have granted us wisdom. Your word says, if any of you lack wisdom, ask God and He will give you. Lord, we pray that you will fill us with wisdom that we may learn how to discern your word, discern decisions that we may have to make in life. We commit ourselves into your hands, we ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
