Living in the Wisdom of God
How would you like to walk in the Wisdom of God on a daily basis? To have the Mind of God performing on your behalf in life’s challenging situations? Have you ever failed in a decision and looked back and wondered how you could have been so ignorant? Would you like to limit the amount of such experiences? Of course we all can answer yes to these questions.
Walking in the Wisdom of God can greatly benefit our lives and the lives of those around us. Many snares and troubles in life can be prevented by taking the overhead view of God’s Wisdom. God will not be surprised by what happens in our lives by the end of today. He will not be startled by the events that take place around us. The entire time He has had the vantage point above us, desiring to cue us in, warn us, and send us in a better direction. God does not pace the floor in apprehension when we go through trouble. He saw it coming the whole time. More than likely He was providing warning signs but our spiritual eyes and ears were too dim of wisdom to understand. God wants us to be wise beyond our own understanding.
Isaiah 57:15 says, “For thus says the High and LOFTY One that INHABITS ETERNITY…” This is a very important aspect of who God is. First, He is The Lofty One. That means His view is all encompassing, all knowing, and never taken by surprise. Secondly, notice that God inhabits eternity. That means He does not live within time frames. God has no past and no future. It is ONLY NOW with God. He sees the beginning and the end all at once. That would certainly be helpful in what we have to face in our lives. God has already been to your future and He has placed good things there. Wouldn’t you like to have an idea of what is to come? The good news is that God has invited every believer to partake of His view. The Wisdom of God through the Holy Spirit is offered to every child of God. Our relationship with Him also includes a sharing of His view! There are incredible advantages to being related to the One on the throne.
God’s Wisdom Principles will challenge our thinking and call us out of our comfort zone. For example, the world will tell us to hold onto money and possessions. The Bible teaches us to let them go. The world says “words don’t mean anything.” The Bible says that you can only live the life that you are speaking. The world teaches that “white lies” are harmless. The Bible says that lies of any color are destructive. God’s Wisdom contradicts the world’s ideas of wisdom.
