WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OF GOD

Wisdom is not what you know about the world

but how well you know God.

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How inscrutable are His judgments and how unsearchable His ways! (Romans 11:33)

See to it that there is no one who takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception in accordance with human tradition, in accordance with the elementary principles of the world, rather than in accordance with Christ. (Col 2:8)

May your heart be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and that you would attain to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (Col 2:2-3)

How I love your law, O Lord! It is my meditation all the day. Your command has made me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers when your decrees are my meditation. I have more discernment than the elders, because I observe your precepts. From every evil way I withhold my feet, that I may keep your words. From your ordinances I turn not away, for you have instructed me. (Psalms 119:97-102)

The word of the Lord makes you wiser everyday. In the silence of your heart, meditate on God's Word and you will have more understanding than those whom you regard as your teachers in the world. Because the Lord Himself has taught you all there is to know. . .

Lord, You are my one true teacher and there is no other! Keep the fire burning in my heart so that I will learn and understand all that is to know with regards to Your will and purpose over my life. In Jesus Name, I pray. Amen.

My message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of spirit and power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God. - 1 Corinthians 2:4-5

We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand the things freely given us by God. And we speak about them not with words taught by human wisdom, but with words taught by the Spirit, describing spiritual realities in spiritual terms. - 1 Corinthians 2:12-13

"Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, `I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.' For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners." -- Matthew 9:12-13

Prayer

I thank him who has given me strength for this, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he judged me faithful by appointing me to his service, though I formerly blasphemed and persecuted and insulted him; but I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. And I am the foremost of sinners; but I received mercy for this reason, that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience for an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.

To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

-- 1 Timothy 1: 12 - 17

My spirit blesses the Lord, the great King! (Tobit 13:15)

I give thanks to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, who gave me a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of my heart enlightened, that I may know what is the hope to which he has called me (Ephesians 1: 16-18).

I stir into flame the gift of God that I have for God did not give us a spirit of cowardice but rather of power and love and self-control. I am not ashamed of my testimony to our Lord but bear my share of the hardship for the gospel with the strength that comes from God (2 Tim 1:6-8).

Peoples will declare their wisdom, and the congregation proclaims their praise (Sirach 44:15).

And when Jesus was baptized, he went up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and alighting on him; and lo, a voice from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." (Matthew 3:16-17).

And John bore witness, "I saw the Spirit descend as a dove from heaven, and it remained on him. I myself did not know him; but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, `He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.' And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God" (John 1:32-34).
