Where Does True Wisdom Come From

True wisdom and discernment is something we all need?  Everyone should be seeking true wisdom and discernment.  Having both attributes helps us to make the right choices and decisions for the best outcome for us and for everyone else.   

Read what the Word of God says in Proverbs 9:9-10, “Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”

A person that lacks wisdom is not teachable, but a wise man accepts correction and rebuke and becomes even wiser. Question: Which person are you, do you have a reverent fear of the Lord or are you a person that doesn’t even believe that there is a God?  

Read what it says in Proverbs 9:1-8, “Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her seven pillars: She hath killed her beasts; she hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. She hath sent forth her maidens: she crieth upon the highest places of the city, Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him, Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled. Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding. He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.”

I don’t want you to misunderstand me, I am not saying that nonbelievers aren’t smart, there are multitudes of people that don’t choose to acknowledge that there is a God that are very smart, but in the spiritual realm they lack spiritual wisdom and understanding.  The reason why I believe this is true is because the Word of God is spiritually discerned and without the Spirit’s help the Word is foolishness to them.  There are people that just don’t want to bow down to anyone or be accountable to anyone they just don’t want to be tied down to a moral lifestyle because they love the things of the world and love to practice the things that the world practices.   

Now please read 1 Corinthians 2:14-16, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.”

Read 1 Corinthians 1:18-25, “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.”

It is an established fact that true wisdom comes from the Lord so if you lack real wisdom, seek the Lord.  

Please read James 1:5, “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.”

Now read Proverbs 3:13, “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.”

The moral of the story is to have a healthy, reverent fear of the Lord and to seek Him and ask Him and He will give you wisdom and discernment and possibly the desires of your heart.  And, if you don’t know the Lord personally and if you would like to and you feel He is drawing You to Himself, then turn from your sins and turn to God and ask Him to forgive you of your sins and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness.  Then by faith trust Him to be your Lord and Savior.  

May the good Lord bless you and yours and may you all have a super day!! PS don’t forget to thank and praise the Lord!!
