WISDOM IS...


Wisdom of Solomon 7:22-23

So in herself, wisdom is a spirit that is rational,
Holy, only-begotten, manifold, subtle, easily moved, clear,
Undefiled, manifest, invulnerable, loving what is good, keen,
Unhindered, beneficent, man-loving, steadfast, unfailing,
Free from worry, all-powerful, all-surveying,
And penetrating all spirits that are rational, pure, and most subtle.

Encouraging Words

Throughout the wisdom writings of the old testament, we are encouraged to pursue and embrace wisdom. The early church fathers taught that this accounting of wisdom was in reference to Jesus for He is Wisdom. So, following this way of thinking we see all of the characteristics of wisdom pointed out here in these verses as characteristics of Jesus, our Lord. He brings all of these blessings to fruit in the lives of those who love Him and live their lives for Him. Glory be to God!
