Perfect Wisdom

 

 

Good day! I’m Duane Matz and this is Today’s Living Word:

 

Isa 11:2 The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.

 

Isaiah foretells of the descending of the Holy Spirit that rested on Jesus at His baptism. The Holy Spirit who proceeds from the throne of God brings 7 “aspects” with Him. Today we will talk about the second aspect, that of wisdom.

That Jesus is the ultimate in wisdom, cannot be disputed. Jude 1:25 says, “To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

 

His wisdom was well noted when HE taught in the synagogues: Mr 6:2 And when the Sabbath had come, He began to teach in the synagogue. And many hearing Him were astonished, saying, "Where did this Man get these things? And what wisdom is this which is given to Him, that such mighty works are performed by His hands!

 

And in practical ways as HE dealt with situations manufactured by His enemies in order to trap Him.  Remember the woman caught in the act of adultery and the wisdom in which Jesus handled it? "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." (Jn 8:7b)

Or the time they tried to trap Him on the matter of paying taxes?  “And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

 

Up to that time, Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived, but he was not always wise. He made some dumb mistakes, not so with Jesus the Holy Spirit’s perfect wisdom was with Him always.

 

The good news is that as a baptized believer in the Lord Jesus Christ the Holy Spirit indwells you and His wisdom is available to you for the asking.

Jas 1:5 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.

 

Are you in a situation where you need wisdom from on high? Ask, seek, and knock, it will come to you.
