day 1- God & His Wisdom

By: Alayna Morton

The attributes of Jesus are manifold, and of monumental value. In one scene He may be the embodiment of love; and in the next, a protector of His people. He is a jealous God, full of wonder and mystery. He is forgiving. He is angry. He is tempted. He is perfect. He is a savior. It it fitting to say instead that he is the sum of all His attributes. Which begets a very significant question: How does He know which gifting is best?

The essential quality Jesus is always applying, is wisdom. Wisdom is what tells Him exactly what we need from our God.

  • Proverbs 2:6, NIV "For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding."

  • Romans 11:33, KJV “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!”

  • Isaiah 40:28 NASB “Do you not know? Have you not heard?
    The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth. Does not become weary or tired. His understanding is unsearchable.”


We are instructed many times in scripture to be like Christ, to love his statutes, and hide His word. Though we may have love, understanding, compassion, or even authority, if we are unable to seek out wisdom all the rest will be void. Imagine trying to repair a vehicle with a hammer, or build a house with a crowbar. This is what it’s like to follow Jesus without wisdom. Our good deeds, our knowledge, it is a tool. Wisdom is the workman, the one who will discern what’s needful. The good news is, God is ready and willing to pour out His wisdom!

  • James 1:5 NIV 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.

  • Mark 11:24 NIV “Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

  • Proverbs 2:6 “For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.”

These scriptures tell us to ask, believe, and listen. This is our direction in the ways of Jesus, He will provide all that we need.
