“Doth wisdom not cry? And understanding put forth her voice? I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions. Riches and honor are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. The Lord possessed me in the beginning…” Proverbs 8:1, 12, 18, 22.
We can never and will never be wiser than God! No matter how intellectually sound we are, we cannot surpass the wisdom of God. The wisdom of God may seem foolish to the world but at the end of the day its extraordinary results leave mouths agape. The bible declares in 1 Corinthians 1:25 that “the foolishness of God is wiser than men.”
God created the world by His infinite wisdom (Psalm 104:24). He created everything in its proper place, order and system of operation such that even scientist find it almost impossible to figure out. The bible says in Psalms 100:3, “know ye that the Lord he is God: it is He that hath made us and not we ourselves.” Thank God He made us, and not we ourselves, otherwise we would have created something that looks like a creature from horror movies!
Talking about the word of God, I want to state clearly that it is dangerous to think that we are smarter than God. Understand that as the bible says, the wisdom of God is from above, and what is from above is above ALL (John 3:31)! You cannot operate in the wisdom of God and remain on the ground in life. Every situation bows to the Wisdom of God. When you engage the wisdom of God in any area of your life, you begin to operate at a higher level of living. Isaiah 55:8 tells us that God’s ways are higher than our ways; hence, man’s wisdom is inferior to God’s wisdom. Man’s wisdom will fail, but God’s wisdom will never fail. It surprises me when I see believers try to live their lives by their own wisdom. They try to work things out through logical thinking, which isn’t bad, but does not produce all the needed results.
How can you think out what to do when you’re experiencing problems in your marriage, or on your job, or in your finances? No wonder many struggle and end up frustrated. The Wisdom of God is in knowing what God wants you to do and doing it. Jesus and His disciples were in the wilderness with the great multitude numbering above 5,000 people. The disciples needed to feed them but didn’t have enough to do so. In John 6:6, Jesus asked His disciples to come up with a solution and they launched into the realm of human wisdom. When they were through they discovered they couldn’t solve the problem. However the bible declares:
“He (Jesus) Himself knew what He would do…”
And thus, a miracle took place. But what exactly did Jesus do? He engaged the wisdom of God. The bible says in Mark 6:2b:
“And what WISDOM is this WHICH IS GIVEN UNTO HIM, that even such mighty works are wrought by His hands” (Also read Matthew 13: 54).
When you engage the wisdom of God, you command signs and wonders! The wisdom of God is the word of God (Luke 11:49). Jesus said in John 5:30:
“I can of my own self do nothing; as I hear so I judge, and my judgment is just”
This meant he was saying: “I don’t do anything except what He tells me to”.
No wonder He got those wonderful results. He did what God told Him. Remember the marriage feast where Mary, Jesus and His disciples were invited? When the wine ran out, Mary told the servants that served in the feast: “Whatsoever He (Jesus) SAITH UNTO YOU, DO IT” and then a miracle happened.
The wisdom of God is His word and the bible is the Word of God in print. As you read the bible, you’ll encounter what God says concerning different areas of your life. That is the wisdom of God in those pressing areas of yours. For instance, the wisdom of God for a blissful marital life is:
“Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands as unto the Lord” and “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it. Ephesians 4: 22.
Please note, it didn’t say wives submit to your husband’s only if they love you and vice versa like many are doing today. This is one major reason why so many marriages are broken today; even among believers. You cannot decide to go against the wisdom of God and expect great results. Like I said earlier, it may seem foolish when you look at it, but the results are undeniable.
I encourage you to take advantage of God’s wisdom today. I also believe that great things will begin to happen in your life, and miracles and signs and wonders will become your daily experience in Jesus name! Remain Blessed!
