“The Value of Wisdom”
“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Proverbs 9:10
Scripture Contemplation: Exodus 32; 1 Kings 4; Job 28;
Proverbs 8; 1 Corinthians 1; James 1:5...
We live in
such a technologically driven world. Information is all around us. The only
problem is, not all of the information is accurate. Not everything we hear and
learn is the truth. With the advancement of technology, came the onslaught of
so-called experts; making it difficult to decipher between that which is true
and false.
We sometimes
get information overload; becoming uncertain in who or what to believe.
However, when we choose God, and we receive Christ as our Savior, we receive
wisdom. We receive the gift of discernment. As we yield ourselves to Christ,
surrendering all that we are unto Him; we begin to walk in the anointing of
wisdom.
I decree that
this week's Reflections is a continued source of encouragement
and inspiration for your heart, mind, and soul. When you are walking in Christ,
you receive the full benefits package, which includes everything that Jesus is.
His anointing now resides in you. And it is up to you to nurture and walk in
that anointing.
Sometimes
things get overwhelming in our lives, and we can quickly forget the power we
have in Christ. That, the anointing of wisdom that is present in our lives is
not just to know we have access to, but to actually embrace it and walk in it.
To embody it, and have our lives changed because of it.
God is such an
awesome God. Majestic in all His ways. He leads into truth every day all that
would yield to Him and fellowship with Him. Our relationship with the Father
needs nurturing every day. We must spend time in the Father's presence truly,
to know who we are, and what our purpose on this earth. We must be intimate
with the Father. Jesus must reside within us. Holy Spirit must fill us. We need
to be connected to the Source of life to have an understanding of life.
Studying the
word of God, and spending time in the books of Psalms and Proverbs; God opened
my eyes, yet again, to another revelation: Jesus is Wisdom. Jesus just
does not embody wisdom, or have wisdom. He is wisdom.
Maybe you knew
this, already. However, I had not seemed it this way. My previous understanding
before that revelation was that when we receive Christ as our Savior, we gain
wisdom and understanding, as in who God is, and the mysteries of His word.
Jesus would impart into us His wisdom of the Father, His knowledge
and understanding. His wisdom is what we gain over time, as we yield to a life
in Christ. However, it never occurred to me that Jesus and Wisdom are
synonymous with one another, just as God and Love are synonymous.
Talk about
mind-blowing! I must have read Proverbs 8 a few times, as the understanding
blossomed and the anointing took hold of my heart and mind. Then it occurred to
me, that when we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we receive wisdom.
Wisdom becomes a part of us. The anointing is residing in us, and to walk in
wisdom, all we have to do is yield to Christ. Christ is the wisdom we seek.
Christ is wisdom operating in us if we believe and allow Him to be the
King on the throne of our hearts.
Proverbs 8:22-31“The Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way,
Before His works of old. 23 I have been established from everlasting, From the
beginning, before there was ever an earth. 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, I was brought forth; 26 While as yet
He had not made the earth or the fields, Or the primal dust of the world. 27
When He prepared the heavens, I was there, When He drew a circle on the face of
the deep, 28 When He established the clouds above, When He strengthened the
fountains of the deep, 29 When He assigned to the sea its limit, So that the
waters would not transgress His command, When He marked out the foundations of
the earth, 30 Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman; And I was daily His
delight, Rejoicing always before Him, 31 Rejoicing in His inhabited world, And
my delight was with the sons of men.
Amazing! To
know that wisdom and Christ are one and the same. When we receive Christ, and
we are in fellowship with Him; we have wisdom. Wisdom; living and breathing
within us. Wisdom; guiding and leading us and Holy Spirit giving understanding!
In the beginning, was the Word, and the Word was God (John 1:1), and that Word
is Wisdom, and that Wisdom resides in the hearts of those who have received and
believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. We have access to 24/7. We can walk in our
purpose, living fulfilled lives that saturated by the anointing of God, because
we have yielded to Wisdom.
We don't have
to search and search for the truth when the truth is already with us. We don't
need to seek outward for wisdom when wisdom is already within. All we have to
do is yield! My God, what a revelation!
My Beloveds,
may the spirit of peace and prosperity find permanent rest in your lives. I
decree that every good thing that God has ordained for your life will become
evident to you. Allow the anointing saturate your heart, mind, and soul.
Christ desires to reveal to you all that has been stored up for you. Do not become
jaded by an abundance of false information, when Wisdom is waiting to reveal
the path God has ordained just for you, and how to walk in it 24/7. You are
blessed. Now go...and be a Blessing!
