Mon.'s Devo - Man's Wisdom vs. God's Wisdom

Read Pr. 26:12
There is a difference in having God's wisdom and having your own. Those who have their own think they know more than God which is foolishness. I Co. 2:13 explains that there is a difference between man's wisdom and God's. Man's wisdom is carnal and speaks of natural things. God's wisdom is taught by the Holy Spirit and compares spiritual things with spiritual things. Job said that the wisdom of God is the fear of God and to depart from evil is understanding. God condemned the king of Assyria because he though that by his own wisdom he had freed his people and won victory. Because he thought this God brought judgment down on his nation. Paul said that his teachings were not enticing words of man's wisdom but a demonstration of the Spirit and power. That is what is coming to the church. Paul prayed and it happened. We are going to enter into a time where what we decree will come to pass. That is a demonstration of power - God's power. We will need God's wisdom to know when and where to use this power but it will be given to us. The time is coming where we will see God's glory on earth.
Lord, prepare us to steward your power and your Word's. Fill us with your wisdom.
