Wisdom and Understanding

Wisdom is supreme — so get wisdom. And whatever else you get, get understanding.
Proverbs 4:7 HCSB

Wisdom is in the Lord yet not all Christians are wise in relationships, finance or faith towards God. James tells us that if we lack wisdom we should ask for wisdom and will be given it.

Wisdom often comes through hard experience. We learn as we suffer, hopefully. As we suffer loss of relationships we should ask: what can I do better and repent for the wrong. With finance we can repent of foolishness and gain insight and understanding. The first thing we should learn to do is to honour God with our income. This comes with a promise. God promises that we will not put our money into a bag of holes if we give Him His first portion.

Wisdom is quiet and is a blessing. It does not boast of self nor is it proud. Wise giving is quiet and effectual. Wise relationships are the same. We need to allow wisdom to reign supreme. Amen!
