Proclamation:
"For The LORD gives wisdom, and from His mouth come knowledge
and understanding. He holds victory in store for the upright, He is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for He guards the course of the just and protects the way of His
faithful ones." Proverbs 2:6-8 (NIV)
Explanation:
King Solomon, who was granted great wisdom by God, (2 Chronicles 1:7-12 and 1 Kings
4:29-34) wrote these words under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God. Solomon stated that God gives wisdom,
knowledge, and understanding to those that He chooses, and He rewards, guards,
and protects them.
Application:
As we live and breathe we are blessed everyday. We are given many additional blessings daily for
being a child of God. While we are all blessed we do not all get the same
exact blessings. We are all enlightened,
rewarded, and protected as He determines is fitting for us. As we
demonstrate that we will do the right thing with the blessings that we have
received, then we will be blessed with more. (Matthew 25:21 & 23) Our intellectual abilities
differ and so does our capacity understand the facts which are presented to
us. Therefore, our ability to utilize
and apply the facts that we receive also varies and as our level of wisdom
differs. Some of us choose not to make the
best of these God given gifts. However,
He still guards and protects all believers.
We just need to pray and ask for His help so that we can make the best
use of the gifts which we have been given.
