James 3:17 “But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere”
Wisdom can be earthly or supernatural. As Christians God has called us to function with and in the supernatural wisdom. This is the wisdom that comes from God.
The world has its definition of what wisdom is, but that’s not the level or kind of wisdom we operate with. The God-kind of wisdom is a force. It makes you do the things that you have to do, say the things you have to say, and causes you to behave appropriately as the occasion demands.
You see, this awesome wisdom is not beyond your reach. It is Christ in you. Thus, when you surrender your life to him and he becomes your “Lord”, his wisdom is expressed through your life. Anyone who encounters Christ can’t remain in the realm of mediocrity, average living, and failure. No! It can’t be so.
When Peter and John appeared before the Sanhedrin and how he spoke about the salvation in Christ (Acts 4). The Bible says in Acts 4:13 that “When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus”.
The wisdom of God made them outstanding. They had the right words for the right occasion. Their choice of words, courage and power or articulation was nothing that their accusers could gainsay. That’s to say that, failing, timidity, foolishness, and not excelling in life is not the hallmark of Christians. With the wisdom of God in you, He wants you to rise to the occasion and do exploits anytime, any day, and anywhere.
Give yourself fully to God’s holy word. This is the well of wisdom. As you meditate on it prayerfully and carefully you will see your life move from glory to glory.
