WISDOM

Wisdom and the will of God are intimately related...Nothing is more vital for practical knowledge of the purpose of God than wisdom. -- Sinclair Ferguson

 

My son, if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom, and from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. Then you will understand what is right and just and fair --- every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant in your soul (Proverbs 2:1-6, 9-10).

Wisdom

The wisdom that guides believers to heaven is found in God's answers to believing, undoubting prayer. ---- Alec Motyer.

 

Wisdom from God: Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. ...If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously unto all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting... (James 1:2-6a).

 

A hymn to read, sing, hum, or whistle, to the glory of God:

What a Friend We Have in Jesus. 

"What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God  in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer" (Joseph Scriven, ca. 1855).
