WHAT IS GODLY WISDOM?
According to Google Wisdom is:
THE QUALITY OF HAVING EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, AND GOOD JUDGMENT, THE QUALITY OF BEING WISE.
the soundness of an action or decision with regard to the application of experience, knowledge, and good judgment.
the soundness of an action or decision with regard to the application of experience, knowledge, and good judgment.
Key Ingredients for wisdom are:
KNOWLEDGE
APPLICATION of SUCH KNOWLEDGE
EXPERIENCE GAINED FROM THE PRODUCT OF SUCH APPLICATION.
THE UTILIZATION of SUCH KNOWLEDGE - assuming that the goal is for the good of the person and its surrounding and not just limited to human beings.
Wisdom is the culmination of all the above.
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF WISDOM
There are two kinds of wisdom:
Wisdom that’s from the world.
Wisdom that’s from the Word.
ILLUSTRATION OF WISDOM
Previously in chapter there is wisdom in:
Following the “good” advice of parents with or without their presence.
Treasuring the commands of parents.
To view it something valuable does you keep is close to your heart.
Keep wisdom pure and not allow any other views to cloud it or question it causing you to doubt it.
Keeps close that it you are always ready to use it right away.
Love wisdom like you love a sister.
Love them like you love family.
THE URGENCY OF WISDOM
Wisdom is so important and there is a sense of urgency to have it because the days are evil.
According to , how important and critical it is to posses it.
It is important and it is good acquire it in a timely manner or not to delay in having it.
It is wants to be possessed.
Where is it necessary?
Everywhere and all the time.
“Calls out!”
Notice the places verses 2-3 sites to make it’s point:
Hilltop along the road - important decisions in life.
Crossroads - important choices in life.
Gates at the entrance to the town - necessary when embarking on new endeavors and as one engages through these endeavors.
She not only calls out but “CRIES ALOUD” - emphasis, pleading.
In order to posses wisdom it does not come to you but you go to her.
It means it is acquired, cultivated, learned and earned.
It is available to anyone who wants it and get’s it.
It reminds us of a portion of the doctrine of SALVATION THAT IT THROUGH CHRIST ALONE!
Although salvation is given and not earned but it is FREELY given to those who want it, believe in Christ.
To BELIEVE IS TO TRUST and not merely an intellectual process but a personal decision after understanding it.
WISDOM FOR EVERYONE
Wisdom is for everyone to have.
“To you, O men” is referring to all mankind.
It want’s to be heard.
There is a purpose why this pulpit is in front, not in the back, in the middle and not off to the side.
MIDDLE - centrality of God’s Word to all believers.
IN FRONT - in order to be hear openly, clearly and without misunderstanding.
You are not taught from the back but from the front where you can see and hear clearly.
Note our EARS’ position in human anatomy.
Also observe its shape and where it is facing.
Selective Hearing - man tends to tune out other sounds in preference of others that one want’s to hear.
What makes you want to hear the call?
There had been times when parents call their children from a distance or from their rooms that they either answer or ignore the call.
But what makes you and me want to have wisdom?
It is common interest for the positive things in life.
Today the Holy Spirit is busy engaging human beings to either know for the first time and to know all the time.
Wanting wisdom is a product of a more foundational wisdom taught and learned at an early stage in life.
Believers who know a lot about the Word, knows a lot about the Bible because of their desire to learn of GOd and his/her willingness to receive wisdom from Him.
We can learn from our pets, for example dogs.
Trained or untrained food is a big motivator.
They go to where the food is.
They have a strong yearning for their stomach to be filled.
How about you, do you have a strong and urgent yearning for God’s Word which will transition to Wisdom eventually when applied properly.
There is wisdom in getting wisdom so when temptation comes knocking in your heart, you will decide to say no to it.
HEARING IS HEEDING AND IT IS A GOOD THING!
Proverbs
What kind of things come out of wisdom?
“NOBLE THINGS!”
Noble things - referring to fine personal qualities or high moral principles and ideals.
These qualities are of God and totally opposite of from the devil’s.
The root word for “righteous” is right - right on whose perspective?
The Lord’s, for He is declared by scriptures as righteous.
Despicable things are of the devil.
We are to reject unrighteousness (SIN) and embrace righteousness for it of God.
One challenge for parents is to teach their children to “obey them obediently.”
Parents want their children to obey them well.
They do not want to have children to huff and puff and roll their eyes and stamp their feet even when they do what parents ask of them.
(Ex.
Take out the trash, wash dishes, walk the dog, mow the lawn, etc.
They do not want children who obey in body while their hearts are filled with rebellion and hatred of authority.
Yet somehow this seems to be their natural tendency.
When a child has a hard time obeying his or her parents it will beginning sign of one struggling with authority in the future.
Adults who have a hard time with authority are those who had a hard time with listening, obeying and respecting their parents while growing up.
So let this be a warning sign of things that may come when it is not corrected.
Parents need to established at an early stage in a child’s life that they are the authority.
Parent’s used that authority to train them in ways of the Lord so that when they grow up they will not depart from it.
FROM NOBLE THINGS TO TRUTHFUL THINGS
It is a sad state today that we a running short of good examples.
With the news so accessible today through social media we learn of politicians (this is a given) lying for the whole country to see.
Politics and truth tend to be an irony.
Politicians are suppose to be respectable individuals with so much wisdom, which is one of the reason why they are voted into office and yet they get caught lying and covering up any criminal and immoral behaviors.
We see again from this, that wisdom is absolute truth.
