Who Has Wisdom

Marsha Kochi

Scripture

Hosea 14:9
“Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; Whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, And the righteous will walk in them, But transgressors will stumble in them.”

Observation


When we walk with Him, we gain understanding, discernment and wisdom, but when we come against the laws that He has for us, or when we rebel against Him, we fall.

Application

I used to think that wisdom came with age, and so I wanted to get there fast. Now that I am there, I'm still asking for wisdom, skipping over the age part, wanting to slow that process. Then I thought wisdom came with people who had a lot of knowledge. But knowledge is just head stuff, it doesn't make you wise. I realize that wisdom is walking with the Lord, and obeying His laws for us. King Solomon was the wisest of all kings till he stopped obeying what the Lord tells us about false idol worship. There is no wisdom without the obedience that we must have to His Word, and to Him.

Prayer

Thank You Lord for wanting us to be better. To live a better life and to receive the wisdom that can help us in our season here and now.
