OUR FATHER WHO DISPENSES WISDOM TO ANY WHO ASKS IN FAITH

Proverbs chapter 23 verse 20 says this;

Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm.

This verse reveals the way that the Lord will give wisdom to anyone who asks as promised in James chapter 1 verse 5 which says;

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.

If we request wisdom from the Lord, He can bring a companion alongside us who carries the wisdom of the Lord into the situation in our lives and by induction, we gain wisdom.

We are given the hallmarks by which to recognize from where the wisdom is sourced in James chapter 3 verses 17 - 18 which says;

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness

 On the other hand, the wisdom that is dispensed from sources other than heaven yield different results. James chapter 3 verses 14 - 16, says this;

But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.

If we entwine our lives with fools, we will be influenced by wisdom which is earthly, unspiritual and demonic.

We will then suffer harm from the chaotic and evil environment that is generated from it.

Let us pray for the Lord's wisdom.

Amen.
