In the book of Mark 6:2, Jesus was teaching in the
synagogue and all the people hearing him were astonished. They all started
asking each other, "What wisdom is this?" In other words, how can
someone be this wise? They just couldn't understand.
Proverbs 4:7 says, "Wisdom is the principal
thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."
Years back, I used to think wisdom means knowledge, however, I have come to
discover that wisdom is not knowledge!
Wisdom is the ability to apply
knowledge effectively to produce good results. Wisdom employs, or
uses knowledge. Knowledge alone is just information we have gained that has not
been put to any practical use. Knowledge is knowing you are entitled to
a certain allowance in your office, wisdom is demanding for it.
Knowledge of the word of God without practical
application is just sheer ignorance. The woman with the issue of blood knew if
she touched the hem of Jesus' garment, she would be made whole, and she was
wise enough to apply her wisdom. Prov 23:23 says one of the things to buy and
never sell is wisdom.
We all know when we sow sparingly, we reap
sparingly. Wisdom is refusing to sow sparingly so as to reap bountifully.
Lastly, it is worthy of note that information without application will lead to
frustration.
My prayer is that the spirit of wisdom would rest
upon you every day of your life in Jesus Name. Amen!
