(The Word Has The Ability To Make You Wise)
TO THE BIBLE: 2 Timothy 3:15
“and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
LET’S TALK
God’s wisdom is found in His Word. It covers everything and will guide you through life.
Proverbs 4:7 highlights just how important wisdom is; it says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom….” In other words, wisdom should be your top priority.
The Scriptures, as read in our theme verse, have the unique ability to make one wise unto salvation. It’s one reason you must meditate on the Word.
Joshua 1:8 (AMPC) says, “This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.”
Notice that it says meditating on the Word will make you prosperous and cause you to deal wisely; that means it’ll make you discerning and sound.
Colossians 3:16 adds, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”
As you immerse yourself in the Word, digesting its truths and allowing it to permeate your spirit, it’ll make you several times wiser and broaden your capacity and capability.
This brings to mind what the Bible says in 2 Peter 1:2, “Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord” (KJV).
Increased grace means God can entrust you with even greater responsibilities because you’re wiser. He knows that as a result of His wisdom at work in you, you’ll make sound judgements and choices.

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for the wisdom in your Word. As I give attention to the Scriptures, I open myself to a continuous impartation of divine wisdom. The Word guides my choices and actions. I have uncommon insight—a clear, deep and sudden understanding of concepts, subjects, situations and mysteries, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
