God give Wisdom and victory
to the godly but not to those drifting through life or acting irresponsibly
with his gifts and resources. If we are
faithful to him and keep our purpose in life clearly in mind, he will keep us
from pride and greed. It is amazing how
people will say, “How long will God let me suffer?” They don’t see it is their own actions that
cause the suffering. Until they truly
start living by God’s word they will not stop the suffering.
2. Proverbs 2:9-11; Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path. For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you.
We gain wisdom through a
constant process of growing. First, we
must trust and honor God. Second, we
must realize that the Bible reveals God’s wisdom to us. Third, we must make a life-long series of
right choices and avoid moral pitfalls.
Fourth, when we make sinful choices or mistakes, we must learn from our
errors and recover.
