SELL EVERYTHING AND BUY WISDOM - 2
"After a moment the king said, “Bring me a sword.” They brought the sword to the king. Then he said, “Cut the living baby in two—give half to one and half to the other.”.............The king gave his decision: “Give the living baby to the first woman. Nobody is going to kill this baby. She is the real mother.” The word got around—everyone in Israel heard of the king’s judgment. They were all in awe of the king, realizing that it was God’s wisdom that enabled him to judge truly. 1 Kings 3:24-28 (MSG)
A lady lost her eyesight and became blind. She called a doctor and agreed to pay him a very big amount if he cured her. But she will not give a single penny if she is not cured. The doctor agreed and came to her house daily for treatment. However , he started stealing lady's furniture and other valuable things from the house. He took away everyday one thing from lady's house. So he delayed curing the lady. He cured the lady after he had removed all the furniture & valuable articles from the lady's house. Now doctor demanded his fee from the lady. But she refused to pay the fees and said that she is not fully cured.
The doctor registered a case against her in the court. On being asked by the judge why she was not paying the fee, she told the court that her eye sight is not fully restored. She could not see her furniture and other articles in the house. The judge was very wise. He understood the matter and instead of sanctioning the poor lady, he punished the heartless and dubious doctor.
Beloved, oftentimes things are not usually the way they are presented. Like the Judge in the story above, we need God's wisdom to be able to read between the lines and give godly judgments on issues of life. In 1 Kings 3, King Solomon would have release the living child to the wrong mother if not for God’s wisdom. If he had relied on his emotion, feelings and logics he would have committed a terrible blunder and gross injustice in the history of man. And that single blunder would have discredited his entire reign as a king in Isreal forever.
"....“Take this to heart. Do what I tell you—live! Sell everything and buy Wisdom! Forage for Understanding! Don’t forget one word! Don’t deviate an inch! Never walk away from Wisdom—she guards your life; love her—she keeps her eye on you. Above all and before all, do this: Get Wisdom!......” - Proverbs 4:3-9 (MSG)
Friends, why not consider emulating King Solomon - the man who sold everything in order to buy wisdom - 1 Kings 3:9-14. Why not earnestly desire the baptism of the spirit of wisdom today. I have no doubt that God's wisdom will definitely enable you discern all manifestations of falsehood and guide against making wrong judgment/decisions in life.
Good day and God bless you. Amen
