FAITH CAPSULE: Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding are like a package.
Proverbs 2
Seek the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of God.
A man with wisdom cannot lack knowledge and not be without understanding.
Wisdom, knowledge, and understanding are like a package that cannot be separated.
What one does not know will not work for one.
Whatever fails to work for one can work against it.
In life, it is a lack of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding that will make a man with a loaded gun in his pocket and being chased around by an ordinary one with an ordinary like a table-knife.
Are you an acclaimed believer with power, yet living as a victim of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, running away from the enemy with a table knife at hand?
The word states in Psalm 49:20, “A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, is like beasts that perish.”
The word of the psalmist identifies one with power, yet becomes a victim of one with less power.
Hosea 4:6 informs, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” Clearly, many claim to know God, but know about but do not know.
Those who know about God will lack knowledge.
Do you lack knowledge? Knowledge is not scarce, but man is scarce in finding knowledge.
Knowledge is available for anyone who cares to find it.
Today, know God with understanding.
Proverbs 2:5, “Then you will understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.”
Seek the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding of God, and the fear of the Lord will not elude you.
Based upon all the evil and wickedness that takes place throughout the whole world today, one can clearly see that man no longer has the fear of God dwelling in the inside of man.
Knowledge is not common without knowledge application.
In challenges, with no knowledge, one is set for the evil of the wickedness of the world.
Do you know God? Are you one who engages the pressing challenges of your life with knowledge?
God testifies that He knows His goodness towards us when He spoke, “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” (Jeremiah 29:11) Regardless of how difficult and challenging your situation is, what you know about the promises of God across the pages of the Bible will give you the knowing edge in the face of confronting evil challenges of the world.
Today, take to the word of Proverbs 2:10-14, “When wisdom enters your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul, discretion will preserve you; understanding will keep you, to deliver you from the way of evil, from the man who speaks perverse things, from those who leave the paths of uprightness to walk in the ways of darkness; who rejoice in doing evil, and delight in the perversity of the wicked…”
Prayer for today: Pray to be filled with knowledge, wisdom, and understanding to walk worthily to the glory of God.
