James 3:13 Humility advertises wisdom; it shows in the quality of your conversation and actions. This distinguishes you with the reputation of someone who is acquainted with wisdom and skilled in understanding. (TMB)

Is wisdom evident in your life?

As you live your life, you don’t have to tell someone you are kind or caring or considerate; they recognize it when they deal with you. The wisdom, God gives, will also be evident in your life, as you gain it. Wisdom allows you to see things as God sees them. If you are willing to look through God’s eyes, your life and the way you live it will change. How and why? Because your choices will change, which will directly affect your life. 

You will no longer desire what you think is best, you will want what God says is best. 

Luke 9:23 And He said to all, If any person wills to come after Me, let him deny himself [disown himself, forget, lose sight of himself and his own interests, refuse and give up himself] and take up his cross daily and follow Me [cleave steadfastly to Me, conform wholly to My example in living and, if need be, in dying also]. (AMPC)

Your responses to circumstances and situations will change. 

1 Peter 3:9 Never retaliate when someone treats you wrongly, nor insult those who insult you, but instead, respond by speaking a blessing over them—because a blessing is what God promised to give you. (TPT)

Wisdom gives you a godly response to those things that used to make you angry. 

Ephesians 4:26 When angry, do not sin; do not ever let your wrath (your exasperation, your fury or indignation) last until the sun goes down. (AMPC)

Wisdom eliminates your need to retaliate. 

Romans 12:19 Beloved, don’t be obsessed with taking revenge, but leave that to God’s righteous justice. For the Scriptures say: “Vengeance is mine, and I will repay,” says the Lord. (TPT)

Wisdom speaks to you when you feel sad, discouraged, depressed, etc. 

Psalm 42:11 Why are you down in the dumps, dear soul? Why are you sad and crying the blues? Fix my eyes on God—soon I’ll be praising again. He puts a smile on my face. He’s my God. (MSG, edited)

As your responses and your choices continue to change, your thoughts will change. 

Proverbs 23:7a For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: (KJV)

You learned fundamentals of wisdom on August 14; take a moment and read it again. Godly Wisdom will change what you think about, give you understanding and be apparent in your life.

Please agree with me as I pray. Then ask the Lord what your prayer should be and wait for His response:

Father, I want Your wisdom. Your wisdom demands I choose You above me. Your wisdom requires me to love others as You love them. Your wisdom helps me to see others as You see them. Your wisdom helps me discern right from wrong. Your wisdom changes my thinking, and I will become what I think about. When what I think about changes, my actions change as well. Thank You for making this clear to me. Please do what needs to be done in me. I want Your wisdom to be evident in my life…
