Read Luke 2:36-40 Soap Luke 2:40
Jesus' wisdom and favor with God was evident to others before he even reached twelve years of age. This is also mentioned in Luke 2:52, "
And Jesus iincreased in wisdom and in stature8 and in ifavor with God and man." Now, I know that Jesus was the Son of God, which is the primary explanation for this wisdom. But it caused me to wonder how many others in scripture were described as having an unusual amount of wisdom. My search led me to several people, not just Solomon, who fit this wise description. Joseph, Moses, Bezaleel, Aholiab, Hiram, and Daniel are just a few of these people.
The interesting thing was that in every case, their wisdom was not something automatic from birth. It was always described as "given to them by God." Solomon teaches us that God freely gives this to us when we ask (I Kings 4:29). Scripture also contains warnings about wisdom: that there are roadblocks to wisdom. What are the roadblocks? Pride, an inability to control the tongue, closed-mindedness, perversity, foolishness, no fear of God, an inability to manage money, sin, and laziness. Too often, these roadblocks are evident in my life. Let us remove the roadblocks and glorify God with our lives. Then, when we ask Him for wisdom, He is ready to give it liberally (James 1:5).

ReplyDeleteIt says in the book of James 3:17, “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
Wisdom is only possible because it is God created and if we are to develop wisdom it cannot be from the intellect, it must be from God. Many people will profess to have great wisdom but few are able to produce it. Following are two definitions of wisdom one is from Webster dictionary - which means good practical judgment. From the Hebrew-Greek Bible Dictionary - the knowledge of how to regulate one’s relationship with God. So we can see there are two kinds of wisdoms, one earthly and one heavenly. I hope everyone see that true wisdom is rooted and grounded in the Lord Jesus. It is certain mankind will always attempt to know more than God but the bible says, in James 1:5, that if any man lack wisdom let him ask of God.
Our road map in life is always looking at the way Jesus did things, it says in our soap scriptures that he grew strong in spirit and filled wisdom and found favor with God, well that works for me as an example of how I am to live my life and that favor with God begins with wisdom.
