FAITH CAPSULE: The wisdom available for all is the security of God for stability.
Proverbs 4
Today, the world is a place of instability rooted in wickedness at every corner.
To live in security and not be a victim of instability is in the wisdom of God.
The word of God prescribed stability for this time we are living by stating, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times and the strength of salvation…” (Isaiah 33:6)
It is important to note that Jesus is the wisdom as stated in 1 Corinthians 1:30, “But of Him, you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God…” Jesus, the wisdom from God is available to be received as security in the wicked world.
With wisdom comes knowing God, not just knowing about God.
Knowing God will have a knowing edge in navigating the wicked world as an overcome.
Knowledge is for one understanding of wisdom and has a security agent.
Jesus, the wisdom from God, is also the instruction of God for all in this wicked world.
In this time, one that takes to the wisdom of God (instruction of God) is bound to experience stability in the wicked world.
Proverbs 4:1 admonishes, “Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, and give attention to know understanding.”
Wisdom (instruction) demands attention which is listening to gain security in wisdom.
The good God has delivered security to all, but many fail to engage the security because of the inability to listen to wisdom.
Without the security of God available in wisdom is a lack of understanding that gives knowledge.
Understanding is the key to having wisdom and knowledge.
Jesus, in His word, demonstrated His concern for lack of understanding when He questioned and answered, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.” (John 8:43) Wisdom for all is from God as our security.
All should understand wisdom and knowledge to gain security which gives stability in the wicked world.
What is it about security in wisdom?
All should not forsake the word of wisdom (the word, the law of God).
All should let the heart retain words of wisdom and live.
Also should not forget, forsake, or turn away from the word that preserves.
Proverbs 4:7 states the importance of wisdom and understanding responsible for having a knowing edge in the wicked world, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore, get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. (Proverbs 4:7)
When security in wisdom is engaged, stability will become a portion of one and not be a victim of the wicked world.
Giving attention to the wisdom of the word of God will position one on the right path.
On the right path activated by the wisdom of God shall not be hindered when one runs stumbling, shall not have a place.
Prayer for today: Ask God that the wisdom of God shall take charge of your life.
