SPIRITUAL EXERCISE: Craving For WISDOM – The MYSTERY of God To BECOME!
Are YOU CRAVING For the WISDOM of God To BECOME in doing life and godliness? If YES, then take time to ponder meditatively in the Scriptural reading exercise in the few context reference made available here though not limited:
“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. 6 But let him ASK in FAITH, nothing WAVERING. For he that WAVERETH is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man THINK that he shall RECEIVE any thing of the Lord. 8 A DOUBLE minded man is UNSTABLE in all his ways” James 1:5-8.
In REDEMPTION we RECEIVED the BLESSEDNESS of WISDOM and Jesus Christ has become our WISDOM of God in Redemption.
“But unto them which are called, BOTH Jews and Greeks, Christ the POWER of God, and the WISDOM of God . . .30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us WISDOM, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption . . .” 1 Corinthians 1:24-31.
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast REDEEMED us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; 10 and hast MADE us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall REIGN on the earth . . .12 saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to RECEIVE power, and riches, and WISDOM, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing” Revelation 5:9-12.
Wisdom makes a man’s face to shine. It’s the principal thing to hold unto because it’s a defence and it gives life, creates an answer to the past, present and future definition for wholesome living.
“WISDOM is the PRINCIPAL thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding” Proverbs 4:7.
“Who is as the WISE man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man’s WISDOM maketh his FACE to shine, and the BOLDNESS of his face shall be changed . . . 5 Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart DISCERNETH both TIME and JUDGMENT” Ecclesiastes 8:1, 5.
“For WISDOM is a DEFENCE, and MONEY is a DEFENCE: but the EXCELLENCY of KNOWLEDGE is, that WISDOM giveth LIFE to them that have it” Ecclesiastes 7:12
However, are you one craving for WISDOM mystery to turn your life around? Then examine YOURSELF in the ENLIGHTENMENT of the Holy Writ of this proverbial scripture:
PROVERBS 8:1-36
1 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths.
3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors.
4 Unto you, O men, I call; and my voice is to the sons of man.
5 O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.
6 Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.
7 For my mouth shall speak truth; and wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
8 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; there is nothing froward or perverse in them.
9 They are all plain to him that understandeth, and right to them that find knowledge.
10 Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
11 For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
21 that I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.
22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26 while as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28 when he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29 when he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30 then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31 rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.
32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways.
33 Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not.
34 Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
35 For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord.
36 But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.
