As we travel on this journey of life, Wisdom is one of the most valuable possessions you can have to help us navigate through it successfully. Wisdom is fundamental in making sound judgments. All of us have wisdom about many things. But our intellect or wisdom is limited.
So, I’m not talking about wisdom from our learning, experiences, or extraordinary abilities. No, I’m talking about Godly Wisdom that comes from above. The fear of The Lord, reverence, and obedience to Him is where Wisdom begins. (Prov. 1:7) This Wisdom, when you follow it, is an assurance that the best decision or direction is given.
The Book Of Proverbs (8:12-21) In The Message Bible Below Vividly Illustrates The Value Of Wisdom And Its Numerous Benefits
******************************************************************************
“I am Lady Wisdom, and I live next to Sanity; Knowledge and Discretion live just down the street.
The Fear-of-God means hating Evil, whose ways I hate with a passion—pride and arrogance and crooked talk.
Good counsel and common sense are my characteristics; I am both Insight and the Virtue to live it out.
With my help, leaders rule, and lawmakers legislate fairly; with my help, governors govern, along with all in legitimate authority.
I love those who love me; those who look for me find me. Wealth and Glory accompany me—also substantial Honor and a Good Name. My benefits are worth more than a big salary, even a very big salary; the returns on me exceed any imaginable bonus.
You can find me on Righteous Road—that’s where I walk—at the intersection of Justice Avenue,
Handing out life to those who love me, filling their arms with life—armloads of life!”

BE ENCOURAGED, ASK GOD FOR WISDOM TODAY
“If any of you lacks wisdom [to guide him through a decision or circumstance], he is to ask of [our benevolent] God, who gives to everyone generously and without rebuke or blame, and it will be given to him.” (James 1:5)
God bestows Wisdom upon His children; ask and receive. So we may know the best way to use our learning, experiences, abilities, and common sense. This precious luxury gift will never be outdated; no earthly treasure can compare.
Thank you for coming along on my journey. I pray that The Light of God’s Word brings clarity and peace.
Sincerely,
Jacqui.
