Benefits of Meditating- wisdom and wise understanding

20 October 2011

Wisdom is the most precious treasure ever known for human race

• "Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor." (Proverbs 3:13-16)

The knowledge in the world cannot substitute wisdom. 

• "….. if you accept my words and store up my commands within you, turning your ear to wisdom and applying your heart to understanding, and if you call out for insight and cry aloud for understanding, and if you look for it as for silver and search for it as for hidden treasure, then you will understand the fear of the LORD and find the knowledge of God. For the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." (Proverbs 2:1-6)

 Wisdom allows us to discover the true knowledge and proper understanding of God.

•  “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways” (James 1:5-8).
• “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual,  demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy” (James 3:13-17).

Solomon asked God for knowledge, understanding, and wisdom  and it was all  granted to him. True wisdom comes from righteousness and truth. This is because real wisdom benefits all people. Wickedness  and unkindness will be of no use to anyone. You cannot learn wisdom, understanding, leadership qualities from the evil rulers of the world, nor from the morally corrupt person.

Only through God’s commandments can we obtain wisdom.Godly wisdom cannot be learned apart from God. It is super powerful and pure, and none of our imagination could reach it.

 Therefore, it is God’s law which teaches men godly wisdom .This law is referred to as God’s wisdom. The only measuring rod for your wisdom and your maturity ,you only need to measure and assess your words. The condition of our hearts can be revealed  through the words we speak.

• “The Sovereign LORD has given me an instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen like one being taught. The Sovereign LORD has opened my ears, and I have not been rebellious; I have not drawn back. Isaiah 50:4-5
