How To Master Godly Wisdom

By Peter Ward


The scripture privileges wisdom over earthly possessions. This is because a person with Godly wisdom can conquer or acquire anything he or she desires on earth. Kings are required to be wise according to the standards of God to lead their nation in the right path. There are particular exercises that will help you be wise in the standards set by God. Here are some of them.

Read the scripture to understand what God desires and demands of men. This word comes straight from the mouth of God. It would therefore be impossible to understand His ways without understanding his words first. You will also get a clue of how he rewards people who are wise and how he expects them to spend their insight.

Your company should be that of wise men. This is a natural part of any existence. It is said that you will become like the people you interact with on regular basis. By staying with wise men and women, you learn directly from them and can apply the lessons in your life. If your company is made of fools, you will be making poor decisions that have zero insight. It is better to stay with wise people than to read materials and listen to lectures. Through company, you will learn real life experiences.

God has messengers who should be listened to. God uses these messengers to communicate to people about what is expected. By listening to His messengers, it will be easier to interpret His word and even live up to its expectations. However, you should be cautious with the people you follow. There are imposters masquerading as prophets from God and skewing the message to fit their personal situations and gains. Such fake prophets will only mislead you.

Find time to meditate on the word and messages from God. Meditation is one of the strongest tools used in searching for insight. By meditating, you will understand particular issues better than just listening or watching a person speak. It also helps you to get deeper into the word and therefore make better sense of such a word. You can them apply the insights gotten in your real life.

Tame your appetite and reactions in all circumstances. You will be regarded as wise or otherwise based on how you handle particular situations. If you rush through these situations, the possibility of poor judgment is very high. When you have taken time to understand what is required, your decision or action will be wiser.

You need to be righteous for you to be considered wise. Evil cannot make you wise in any way. Such inconsistency will only lead to problems. The eyes of men will watch your actions and determine whether you are wise. By being righteous, your actions and decisions will show a great deal of wisdom that leads people to beautiful destinations.

It takes time for a person to gain wisdom that comes from God. You need to renew your understanding of God and his ways through continuous reading and interacting with His word. You must also apply the ideas learnt in the present circumstances to avoid stagnation. It takes personal effort to be wise and favor from God to sustain insight.
