“I Wisdom dwell with prudence…Counsel is Mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength” (Proverbs 8:12,14).
Prudence means using wisdom to apply to different situations. The book of Proverbs speaks a lot about wisdom, but especially in the first few chapters. How important it is to get wisdom! But where is it to be found? If you read Proverbs 8, you will find that wisdom becomes a person, and that Person about whom the chapter speaks in verses 22-31 is obviously the Lord Jesus Himself. He is the wisdom of God for us in our Christian pathway.
Yes, we learn about Him in the Word of God, but ultimately it is an intimate knowledge of the Lord Jesus, and a walk with Him, that gives us real wisdom. More than this, the wisdom of this world cannot add anything to the Word of God, and to Christ. In fact, the wisdom of God is always opposite to man’s wisdom. Let us remember that, and let us walk with the Lord. His wisdom is perfect.
