As I seek to grow intellectually, and, of character, I must take on Wisdom, which will open to understanding, which, then, will allow for me to act, and, react in a mature way, meaning, I will then, experience fulfillment, in the days of my life...
Now, I do NOT seek the Wisdom of mankind, as it is clear that our minds lead us to destruction of all kinds, for our Wisdom is NOT *GOD'S* Wisdom, even though, we ARE with the capacity to house ALL of the Wisdom HE will bestow upon us, if we so seek it! You see, the Wisdom of humanity, is tainted, as it is riddled with hypocrisy, selfishness, and, deceptions of the evil of the world, which leads us to failing, instead of, arising, to our destined greatness! Human Wisdom is best left uncultivated, as the egocentric self will over-ride TRUTHFUL Wisdom within it's conviction that we ARE empowered without, or, outside of *GOD*: this IS the deception of the world, and, the throe of all sin!!!
With the Wisdom of *GOD*, I come into PURE understanding, and, ennoblement, which aids me in EVERY way, as, I am thinking, then, functioning, as was intended, not, as the deceiver would have me to! Wisdom IS a safety net for the devout, for the seeking, for the knowing, and, for those who fear *GOD* over all else! With *GOD* Wisdom, little can trip me up, except, my MISUSE of free will, because HE has placed ALL detours to stumbling blocks, obstacles, and, confusions, within that Wisdom!!!
The evil ruler of this world fights deliberately to keep us from seeking *GOD* Wisdom, because he knows that we will find life in that Wisdom, and so, he places all sorts of entertainment into our paths, that we will be delighted, in a worldly sense, with what we see, therefore, we become, once again, deluded, and, remain in his grasp, the grasp of demise! That old serpent knows, surely, that once a person begins to seek the Wisdom of the CREATOR, *GOD*, eventually, their human will shall be refined into *GOD'S* WILL, and, they will be removed from his grasp! Therefore, he will increase his craftiness to try to shake them free long enough to remove the GRACE by which they are secured by, as, free will does yet exist, especially in the immature, or, uncultivated; many HAVE fallen from GRACE during the implementation of Wisdom's empowerment! Thus, within Wisdom, there is much to be considered, then, cultivated, that SPIRITUAL MATURITY IS the product of the effort, FOR the GLORY, and, name of *GOD*!!!
Wisdom has many roots, which are varied, especially at the perception of mankind, thus, to define, or, to break up *GOD'S* SACRED Wisdom(s), is not an easy task! I have found a very interesting, and, appealing version which I would like to share with you, written by Emily Dickinson:
Picture a tree: you see the trunk and branches, the leaves, and the fruits. Further, you know that the roots are there too, even though you can't see them; they provide nutrients, water, and stability.
These parts of the tree represent the four major components of wisdom: The trunk and branches stand for Discernment, that is, deep insight and deep understanding. The leaves, which interact with the environment, blowing in the breeze and photosynthesizing sunlight into energy, represent Respect, which is about compassion and caring. The fruits that the tree produces fall on the ground or are carried away by the wind or by birds and grow into new trees. This is Engagement, where wise decisions or actions contribute to the common good. Finally, the roots symbolize Transformation, a complex dimension of personal integrity, self-knowledge, and the growing recognition of the interdependence of all things. Just as a tree cannot continue to live without the organic unity of all of these parts, neither can wisdom thrive in a person without these four elements...
Interesting, eh? Wisdom IS key to the WHOLE of CREATION, not merely to intellect! Without Wisdom, the first people could not have survived, even though who knows if they were even aware that *GOD* was filling them with enough Wisdom for survival? I am sure it is much easier to obtain from a non-intellectual stance, as then, it is a NATURAL occurrence, flowing readily from CREATOR, to CREATED! Still, here we are, honed intellectually, and, able to discern! In this stance, we MUST surrender our free will to *GOD*, and, become as the first beings to exist on Earth, allowing for HIS unleashing to flow into us in an intrinsic, and, warranted necessity, that life is guaranteed! See what I mean???
Wisdom includes Virtues, and, ALL things WHOLESOMELY GOOD, such as LOVE, COMPASSION, TOLERANCE, PATIENCE, and, so forth, each working toward the whole of *GODLINESS*, that eternal PURITY, and, the continuity of all for all!!!
So much to learn, always, that is the way of HIS world; but, it keeps us busy, out of trouble, and, out of the snares of that evil deceiver, therefore, it is worthy, at least, to me!!!
Let me wrap this up with the following Scriptures, as reinforcing reminders! *GOD* BLESS, and, keep us, and, PRAISE be unto HIM for ALL benevolence bestowed upon the FAITHFUL, HIS Children! AMEN!!!
The Epistle of James (James 3:13-18; cf. James 1:5) distinguishes between two kinds of wisdom. One is a false wisdom, which is characterized as "earthly, sensual, devilish" and is associated with strife and contention. The other is the 'wisdom that comes from above':
JAMES 3:17...
But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, [and] easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy...
JAMES 1:2-8...
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do...
1 CORINTHIANS 1:30... JESUS is the wisdom of *GOD*.
JOHN 15:5.. When we stay connected to HIM,HIS values and very life will be formed in us and HIS wisdom from above, WILL flow through us...
Find fulfillment, find PEACE in Wisdom!!!
