WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE

The desire for wisdom, understanding, and knowledge will increase living for the glory of God.
God delivers His own when called on, and He acknowledges.
The children of Israel, in time of their challenge, cried out to God. 
God looked upon them.
Exodus 2:25, “And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them…”
In this challenging time, one that calls on Him, that looks upon Him shall experience the move of God, answering His people.
Instability is the core of the challenges of today.
However, call upon God to experience stability, not to be a victim of the challenges.
Isaiah 33:6 says, “Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure.”
God treasures it when living by the fear of God is the character of one with wisdom and knowledge.
It is wisdom, understanding, and knowledge that are not separated, being possessed, that will enable one not to live unstable in the challenges of instability.
Are you one with wisdom, knowledge, and understanding that is rooted in the word of God?
ALWAYS ASK FOR WISDOM, UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE
Three things not to stop asking from God are wisdom, understanding, and knowledge.
WISDOM is the instruction of God. 
1 Corinthians 1:30 records wisdom, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God…”
UNDERSTANDING is giving attention that is listening to the word of God.
KNOWLEDGE is the application of wisdom. 
Knowledge is having wisdom, then with an understanding of having the edge in life endeavors. 
Are you a believer in having or not having wisdom, understanding, and knowledge not to perish, a life of waste?
Hosea 4:6 clearly states, “My people perish because they lack knowledge.”
Wisdom and understanding are the evidence of knowledge.
Pages of the Bible emphasize wisdom and understanding as the key to having a knowing edge.
For example, Proverbs 4 records the importance of wisdom and understanding.
PROVERBS 4:1 “Hear, my children, the instruction of a father, And give attention to know understanding.”
PROVERBS 4:5, “Get wisdom! Get understanding!”
PROVERBS 4:7, ‘Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.”
The wisdom of God is in place for one who will give self to gain the understanding for the application of knowledge. 
However, many do not understand the word (wisdom) of God.
A lack of understanding is a listening disability.
Jesus points it out in John 8:43 when He asked and answered rhetorically, “Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.”
Understanding is crucial to living as a believer, not just knowing about answering as a believer.
In this challenging world, one who does not have the wisdom (word) of God and does not have the understanding to navigate knowing God is able in all areas of life is bound to perish.
John 8:45 records the word of Jesus, “But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.”
All should consciously strive to grow as believers to gain wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, not to perish as having a life of waste.
In the place of wisdom and not to have a knowing, lack of understanding is the issue. 
One with wisdom will have the understanding to live a life of knowing edge.
THE WORD OF GOD IS A SECRET NOT A STORY
Lack of understanding is engaging the word of God as a story instead of the word of God as a secret.
No one engages the word of God as a story to become exposed to the power of God.
Psalm 91:1 points to the word of God as the secret, “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.”
For example, knowing the killing of Goliath by David as a story and not knowing the secret David demonstrated will not be exposed to the secret of killing giants that militates against one.
David went against Goliath against the discouragement of King Saul, requesting David be young and not with war experience as a soldier to fight Goliath.
The understanding of the secret for David to go against Goliath was rooted in his testimony of being able to kill both a lion and a bear. 
Above all, the secret of David was in his word to excel God, “Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” (1Samuel 17: 45)
In his testimony, he claimed victory in striking and taking off the head of Goliath for the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the air and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.
Understanding the secret in the word of God is to gain a knowing edge to the glory of God.
With understanding is to keep focus on God alone.
