The Only Wise God

To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion, and power, both now and forever. Amen. Jude 25

Bible Reading: James 3:17-18

Wisdom is defined as the discretionary use of knowledge for the greatest good. It is also the ability to apply relevant knowledge in an insightful way to different situations. Wisdom is a good quality which everyone who desires an impactful life requires. Without it, success in life is a mirage! A mere thinking that will never come true. Many people, both great and small have fallen due to failure to apply wisdom in appropriate situations. For instance, when God spoke to Samuel concerning His judgment upon the house of Eli, Eli’s response was ‘it is the Lord: let him do what seem him good (1 Samuel 3:18). Eli forgot that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hand of the living God (Hebrew 10:31). However, in the case of David, when Nathan the Priest brought him God’s verdict regarding his execution of Uriah and taking his wife, he acknowledged his sin unto God and he repented (2 Samuel 13:11-16).

The opposite of wisdom is foolishness, the Bible speaks of these two attributes in Matthew 17:24-27. The good news is this, God is the originator if wisdom according to today’s memory verse and in Colossians 2:3 the Bible says in Christ is hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Hence, to gain more wisdom, all we need to do is simply ask God for it.

Daily Confession: Father, I declare that me and my household will never fall under Your judgment, but we shall continually please You and find favour with You.

Action Point: If any man lacks wisdom, let him ask God. Ask for divine wisdom today. God bless you!

Intercessory prayer: pray for God’s wisdom over your children and your household

Hymn: Immortal, Invisible, Wise only God

In light, inaccessible, hid from our eyes

Most blessed, most glorious, The Ancient of days

Almighty, Victorious, thy great name we praise.
