Mmmmmm, Good

Ex 35:25-26, KJV
25 And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen.
26 And all the women whose heart stirred them up in wisdom spun goats' hair.

Ex 28:3-4, NIV
3 Tell all the skilled men to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest.

1 Kings 4:29-30, KJV
29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
30 And Solomon's wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the children of the east country, and all the wisdom of Egypt.

School is back in session! Our children and grandchildren, nieces and nephews are receiving knowledge into their little brains like a sponge takes up water. But knowledge is nothing if it is not accompanied by wisdom. Each and every one of us has the ability to have wisdom. Wisdom is not limited to the smart, the holy, the preacher, or any other. Wisdom is available for whoever will ask for it and live by it.

Usually I think of needing wisdom for decisions, and we do! But wisdom is more than simply making good choices. Here is Strong’s concordance definition: skilful, wisdom, wisely, wit.

Your ability to organize your home is wisdom. Your skill at sewing is wisdom. Your talent to write is wisdom. These “talents” aren’t merely genetic; they are gifts of God to be treasured. Glow when you’ve done a good job – you’ve just opened your present from God!

I’ll take it one step further: Its possible for you to be lacking in a specific area, utterly, totally can completely, NOT talented, but if there’s a need & you you seek God for “wisdom”, (or the skill) God can give you abilities that you were not born with. Then we should use our wisdom to live fulfilling lives, to bring up our children to seek after wisdom, to help others, to make the Kingdom of God grow...

A life full of wisdom is Mmmmmm, good.
