WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING

WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING 

"Getting wisdom is the most important thing you can do. Whatever else you get, get insight. Love wisdom, and she will make you great. Embrace her, and she will bring you honor. She will be your crowning glory.”- Proverbs 4:7‭-‬9 (GNT)

One hot day, a thirsty crow flew all over the fields looking for water. For a long time, he could not find any. He felt very weak, almost lost all hope. Suddenly, he saw a water jug below the tree. He flew straight down to see if there was any water inside. Yes, he could see some water inside the jug!. The crow tried to push his head into the jug. Sadly, he found that the neck of the jug was too narrow. Then he tried to push the jug to tilt for the water to flow out but the jug was too heavy. The crow thought hard for a while. Then looking around it, he saw some pebbles. He suddenly had a good idea. He started picking up the pebbles one by one, dropping each into the jug. As more and more pebbles filled the jug, the water level kept rising. Soon it was high enough for the crow to drink. His plan had worked!

There is a limit to what one can achieve with ordinary skill, physical and mental strength in this present dispensation. Like the crow in the above story, everyone needs divine wisdom to nagivate the way to their desired haven in life. Divine wisdom is the fuel that powers the engine of stressless triumphant in the journey of destiny (Ecclesiastes 10:10). In spite of the hash economic conditions all over the world due to COVID - 19 pandemic, those people who are truly connected to the source of  divine wisdom (Jesus Christ) will never be stranded till the storm is over. 

"But wisdom will make any job easier. It is very hard to cut with a dull knife. But if you sharpen the knife, the job is easier." -  Ecclesiastes 10:10 (ERV)

Friends, how have you being navigating the terrain of life in your business, career, academic, family since this pandemic invaded the whole universe? Are things going on very well for you as if there is no pandemic at all? If your answer is "yes", then, I say "congratulations" and I thank God for your life. But in case, things have not been going on smoothly as expected. I urge you to please trust God for a turnaround by seeking for divine wisdom today. 

"But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living". - Job  28:12-13

Where can one seek wisdom? According to Proverbs 9:10, the only path to wisdom is the fear of God. Are you on that path. If you are not, I urge you to locate that path today by surrendering your life to Jesus Christ. Please let Jesus Christ (the wisdom of God) sharpen your knife of destiny so that you will not labour in vain in life. Let the only wise God baptise you with the spirit of wisdom so that you will be able to nagivate every challenging terrain you are passing through now with ease, Ecclesiastes 10:10 (ERV). 

WHERE CAN ONE LOOK FOR WISDOM? By Susan H. Peterson (1950 -2004)

Where can one look for wisdom?
Where understanding find?
Man does not grasp its value—
More than can be mined.
It can’t be bought with finest gold,
Silver, or jewels so rare.
Priced far beyond all rubies,
Nothing can compare.

Where then does wisdom come from?
Where understanding dwell?
God comprehends the pathway,
He alone knows well.
He views the ends of all the earth;
He sees the world He formed.
He has established wisdom,
Tested and confirmed.

Fear of the Lord is wisdom;
Seek it and you will find.
Cry out for understanding;
Let it fill your mind.
Search as for hidden treasure;
Look for it every day.
This is the path to wisdom;
Follow all the way.

My prayer for you and my humble self is that we shall truly follow the path of wisdom till Christ returns. The wings of wisdom shall carry us into our desired haven with ease even in this challenging period that the whole world is passing through (Psalms 107:30).  And we shall return with heart of gratitude for all the WONDERFUL testimonies that the only wise God will use to decorate us in such a time like this in Jesus name.
