WISDOM - THE PROVERBS OF SOLOMON - We make choices and decisions every day. Sometimes, they’re good and sometimes they’re bad. In hindsight, we always know the right thing to do. But how can we get it right when we’re in the moment? We need wisdom. The highest wisdom comes from God. He designed the world and created us to live in a certain way. So godly wisdom, true wisdom, is living according to God’s moral code and divine order. But personal experience proves that wisdom is hard to apply. As King Solomon sat on his throne, he observed how people lived. “From the window of my house,” he said, “I looked out the lattice and saw” people make all kinds of foolish choices (Proverbs 7:6-7). Every day, he watched people suffer the consequences of ignoring God’s wisdom. Wisdom is more than common sense. True wisdom comes from God. Solomon said, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 9:10). Wisdom is respecting who God is and doing what He says. Wisdom is being convinced that God’s way is the best way.
