Wisdom

Someone said that “wisdom is knowledge with capacity.” I find this comment interesting in light of the great pressure that is upon me as well as many others as we try to discern, “Who should be the leader of our Republic?” I need wisdom!

Job 28:12. "But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
Yes, another person asking the question on my mind. And yet, an answer, Job 28:28, “And to man He said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.' “

“The fear of the Lord”, does this mean that our Lord God is the source of wisdom?
James, the Lord Jesus brother presents just that fact. James 1:5, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. “ The giving God, the source of our wisdom and we are the direct object of God’s giving. And notice God, “gives to all liberally and without reproach”. The words here are with out reserve and because we ask, He expects us to ask again and again and He will not “through it”, wisdom, “in our teeth”. He will give us wisdom again and again and again.

The above presents a very comforting fact to me and should to all believers of the Christ, the Son of the living God.

God bless us as we make our choice.

Let the conversation continue.
