GODLY WISDOM WILL DISTINGUISH YOU
“For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. He
layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.”
Proverb 2: 6-7 (KJV)
My challenge with many believers today is that we think we can do things the way the world
does and still shine as light. This is wrong! You cannot beat the world’s system by using their
own tools. Jesus said, “…the children of this world are in their own generation wiser than the
children of light.” (Luke 16:8). To beat the world’s system, you must operate on a superior
platform. You need the wisdom that only God gives. Godly wisdom will distinguish you.
It is God who gives wisdom. God is the source of all wisdom and knowledge. He is wisdom
personified. The book of James 1:5 says, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that
giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.” You have an
assurance that whenever you ask God for wisdom, He will give you. It is part of the rights
and privileges that accrue to you as a new creation.
God stores up sound wisdom for the upright. This is not wisdom that is common to everyone.
This wisdom has been stored up and reserved for God’s people, you and me. Sometimes, you
are faced with complex issues, and you need to resolve them. The good news is that there is
wisdom that God has reserved for you to resolve that seemingly complex situation because
you are a child of God. Even at your office, when it seems like you are at a crossroads, not
knowing which way to turn, and everyone is looking up to someone to give direction, always
remember that God has stored up priceless wisdom for you. So, you are in a position to
proffer solutions and give direction to the company for the benefit of everyone. You will need
to access this wisdom. If it were common, everyone would have access to it. But it is not.
