Why did I read this book? It was a book written by Charles Stanley. I found it while browsing the library. I have always liked listening to Mr. Stanley.
What did I learn? Wisdom is the capacity to see things from God’s perspective and to respond to them according to scriptural principles. In other words. wisdom is seeking heavenly opinions on earthly circumstances. People including myself often find themselves dazed or stunned by the consequences of our lives. We seem genuinely surprised that we are experiencing negative consequences as the result of unwise decisions or choices. We ask, “What happened? What did I do to deserve this?” Likewise, wisdom is something we choose to live out. Proverbs 9:10 tells us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Those who fear God stand in awe of God. They have at least a glimmer of understanding that God is omniscient (all wise), omnipotent (all powerful), omnipresent (present in every moment and throughout eternity), and all loving, and that they are not. Wisdom is the capacity to see things from God’s viewpoint. In my lifetime, I have met a number of wise people who had very little formal education. Even so, they had a keen ability to discern, to perceive, and to understand God’s principles and their wise choices and decisions have led each to become a powerful, influential, successful, and in some cases, wealthy individual. If we choose to follow God’s wisdom in times of difficulty, we will win every time. We may experience material, financial, or relational loss but what we gain on the other side of life’s trials is far better than anything we lost. As we walk in wisdom, we see God’s hand at every turn. We know He is with us. We become more and more familiar with His voice, His prompting, His leading, and His tug at our hearts. We truly come to know God in a deeper and more intimate way. Wisdom is imparted only to those who are willing to bow their hearts before the Lord. None of us do well in walking through life alone. We must be in close communication and association with Christ and other believers.
How will I use this book in the future? I hope to become wiser in my walk with Jesus by seeing my errors, confessing my errors, make a change, and continue moving forward with the knowledge I have gained.
