April 17: Wisdom is as infinite as God

"The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding."

Proverbs 4:7

What is wisdom? According to Webster’s Dictionary 1828, wisdom is defined as: “1. The right use or exercise of knowledge; the choice of laudable ends, and of the best means to accomplish them. 2. Quickness of intellect; readiness of apprehension; dexterity in execution.” In scripture theology, wisdom is true religion, godliness, piety, the knowledge and fear of God, and sincere and uniform obedience to His commands. Wisdom is as infinite as God Himself; as we increase in it, it increases in us. Wisdom is not solely knowledge. The two are often confused. Knowledge is taking in the information, and wisdom is applying that knowledge. Knowledge is the accumulation of facts, and wisdom is the correct application of those facts. If you want to be knowledgeable, study God’s Word. If you want to be wise, apply God’s Word. What then is understanding? Understanding refers to the ability to arrange facts. It has to do with insight and your perspective on life. Understanding is the ability to relate how every event in your life has to do with a far greater picture.

Wise people have a combination of knowledge and understanding at work in them.

A psalm of David. 1  Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;    the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. 2  The LORD protects and preserves them—    they are counted among the blessed in the land—    he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. 3  The LORD sustains them on their sickbed    and restores them from their bed of illness. 4  I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD;    heal me, for I have sinned against you.” 5  My enemies say of me in malice,    “When will he die and his name perish? ” 6  When one of them comes to see me,    he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;    then he goes out and spreads it around.

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see. You must trust that even when things seem silent, I am working on your behalf
