Wisdom

Wisdom is skill in living
Wisdom is the right use of knowledge
Wisdom is knowing what to do
Wisdom is the ability to see with discernment
Wisdom is the ability to view life as God perceives it
Wisdom is the God-given ability to see life with rare objectivity and to handle life with rare stability
Make sure we treat each day as being important-"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom" (Psalm 90:12)
Admit out need for wisdom and ask for it-"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him" (James 1:5)
Work at developing a deep respect for God-"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" (Proverbs 9:10)
Be sure that we have a vital relationship with Jesus Christ-"I...do not cease to...mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him" (Ephesians 1:15-17)
Be willing to pay any price for the truth-"Buy the truth, and do not sell it, also wisdom and instruction and understanding" (Proverbs 23:23)
Every challenge or responsibility that lies ahead of us can be handled in a better way when we handle it with God's wisdom. So, we must desire for wisdom above all else, pray for wisdom, seek wisdom and grow in wisdom.
