(The Practical Wisdom Of God)

TO THE BIBLE: Ephesians 1:7-8 KJV
“In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence.”

LET’S TALK
Our opening scripture reveals something amazing—God has lavishly given us every kind of wisdom in Christ Jesus!

The Amplified Classic version of verse 8 says, “Which He lavished upon us in every kind of wisdom and understanding (practical insight and prudence).” Take a moment to let that sink in.

Now, think about what the Lord Jesus said in Matthew 12:42: “The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a greater than Solomon is here.”

Solomon had incredible wisdom, and from the Greek Septuagint we see this wisdom was Phronesis.

Luke 1:17 calls it “the wisdom of the just.” But here’s the best part—this wisdom isn’t just for Solomon or the prophets. It’s available to you in Christ!

Phronesis” means practical wisdom, and in Christ, it’s available to you! The Bible says Christ has been made unto you wisdom from God.

This wisdom helps us make wise choices, solve problems, and excel in whatever you do—whether in school, sports, business, science, or any career.

God’s wisdom isn’t just mere knowledge; it’s a spiritual elixir that guides you in the perfect will of God, causing you to be at the right place, at the right time, and for the right purpose.

It also shapes how you think, helping you say the right things at the right time in the right way. With this wisdom, you stand out and shine for God. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, I affirm that in Christ, I have access to practical wisdom. I walk in divine wisdom; I do and say the right things at the right time, in the right way, for God’s purpose. Christ, my wisdom, effectively works in me to produce fruits and works of righteousness to the glory of God. Hallelujah!
