Sat.’s Devo - The Great Benefits of Wisdom

Read: Prov. 8-10
We pray for wisdom all the time and Proverbs tell us that it is screaming at every turn we make. If we ask for it, we won’t be able to miss it. It will be at every crossroad waiting for us. One thing we can be sure of, God’s wisdom is the best idea. Wisdom holds common sense, success in life, riches, honor, wealth and justice. It is better than silver or gold.
Wisdom is personified as a being that was with God when he created the earth. He describes himself as God’s constant delight. I love his last statement, “How happy I was with the world he created; how I rejoiced with the human family!” Wisdom is our friend that gives us delight in all we do with him. If we listen to him we will be joyful, wise, full of life and everything we do will prosper.
Wisdom tells us to not bother giving out advise to people who don’t want it. We should save our wisdom for people who are already wise. They will listen.
Once again, we are reminded that wisdom comes from fearing the Lord. It gives us a long life, blessings, happy memories, instruction, safety, peace, life-giving words, knowledge, an enhanced life, common sense, hope, pleasure, a lasting foundation, and integrity. Who wants wisdom?
Lord, thank you for wisdom.
