The Principal Thing

Happy weekend everyone,

I remember when I was much younger, my mother always advised my siblings and me to always read the book of Proverbs. She still says it but not as much as before maybe because we read it (laugh). Well, the book of Proverbs is a powerful book which for me stands in between the spirit realm and the physical realm, in other words, you think like God while living here on earth because of your studies on the book of Proverbs.

Proverbs 4:7-8 says, “Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. ₈ Exalt her, and she will promote you; she will bring you honour, when you embrace her.” Wisdom as these verses tell us is very important, and it doesn’t end there, verse 8 of Proverbs 4 also said, in all your getting, get understanding, which is also very important, so how do we get Wisdom and understanding? Before going further you must understand that Wisdom is a person. Solomon wasn’t using a figure of speech by making Wisdom a person, because Wisdom is truly a person. Wisdom was present when the universe what brought to existence, (ref.: Proverbs 8:22-31). The scriptures also tell us how the universe was brought forth through Jesus and He Himself is the Wisdom of God, (ref.: Colossians 1:16-17). It goes to show who Solomon was talking about.

Jesus is the Truth and is also the Wisdom of God, (ref.: 1 Corinthians 1:24), when you receive Jesus into your life, you receive Truth into your life, but what is Truth without knowing how to use it, this is why Jesus doesn’t just give you the Truth, He also tells you how to apply His Truth through the Holy Spirit, this is where understanding comes in. When you exalt Jesus who is Wisdom, you are depending on Him, this is where promotion comes from because He leads you on how to live your life, how to speak the right words at the right time. This is greater than the wisdom of Man which is limited, but this Wisdom is pure and is Jesus Himself. Through Wisdom you won’t only be promoted, you will also receive honour and this is the Truth because you are being led by the all-knowing.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
