Get Wisdom

Wisdom is accumulated philosophic or scientific knowledge.
The ability to discern inner qualities and relationships or insight.  
Common good sense or judgment.   
A wise attitude or course of action.   

How do we accumulate wisdom or knowledge?   We look back on our youth and we realize that we don't do the things that we used to do in our teenage years not because we are older now but because we had to come to realization that how we were living and what we were doing was not only hurting ourselves but the loved ones around us.   We learned the hard lessons of life through the things that we suffered because when we were young we did not have the ability to to discern the innermost qualities about the relationships that were forming with people and situations.  We didn't have the good common sense to judge what was happening to us spiritually or financially.  We didn't have the wise attitude to know what course of action that we were to follow to make sure that we were not screwing up our lives and destroying the plan and purpose that God wanted to fulfill in and through us. 
True knowlege and wisdom can only come from the Lord.  

The LORD is a God of knowledge, and by him actions are weighed.
1Sam 2:3  If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. James 1:5

When you are promoted and elevated into a position of authority your first priority must be to seek the Wisom and Knowlege of God to know how to exercise and use the authority that has been given to you.   If you look at the life of Solomon.  What happened?   He was given the office of a King but he knew not how to rule the people look at what he did.  


O Lord God, let your word to David my father be now fulfilled, for you have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.  Give me now wisdom and knowledge to go out and come in before this people, for who can govern this people of yours, which is so great?” 

God answered Solomon, “Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked for possessions, wealth, honor, or the life of those who hate you, and have not even asked for long life, but have asked for wisdom and knowledge for yourself that you may govern my people over whom I have made you king.   Wisdom and knowledge are granted to you. I will also give you riches, possessions, and honor, such as none of the kings had who were before you, and none after you shall have the like.”  
2 Cronicles 1:9-12 

There are alot of Christians out there right now praying for finances to come into their households but if you don't have the Wisdom to be able to handle what God has already given you then how can He bless you with more?   You have to have WISDOM and KNOWLEGE first so that when God blesses you with things and finances you will know what to do with it.  Little is much when God is in it.  You have to learn how to be faithful in the little things before you can become ruler that God called you to be. 

Being rich is not all that its cracked up to be.  It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Matt 19:24   It is because they spend their days in prosperity,and in peace they go down to Hell. They say to God, ‘Depart from us!  We do not desire the knowledge of your ways. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him?  And what profit do we get if we pray to him?’  Job 21:13-15   

People today walk around with the attitude of " what am I going to get out of it " .  They actually ask themselves this question before they will do anything.  They aren't serving God they serve the god of SELF.   
Those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction.  1 Tim 6:9  For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? Matt 16:26  See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.  Col 2:8 
Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?  James 2:5

The ability to discern and have insight as to what is going on in the relationship and circumstances that you are facing can only come from the Holy Spirit.   The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight. Prov 9:10 
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. Psalm 111:10

The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you. John 14:17 

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. John 16:13

You cannot expect to discern or have insight if you are willfully denying the TRUTH of the relationship or situation you are in!  The Holy Spirit on the inside of you will lead you and guide you into that truth but it is up to you if you will accept or reject His insight.  You need to ask yourself "Why is God revealing this truth to me?"  What course of action do I need to implement as a result of this discernment and insight?   Truth will require you to ACT!  This is why scripture says you will know the truth and the truth will set you FREE!   Freedom will not come for you unless you ACT upon the INSIGHT and DISCERNMENT that you have been given!
 
Wisdom requires obedience. Excercising a good common sense course of action means that you do not always get to do what you want or go where you want or hang around who you want to. You must discipline yourself to listen to the truths of the wisdom God gives you.   Your heart might be willing to obey but your flesh may be weak in some areas.   
Even Jesus had to learn how to die daily to his fleshly desires and wants. 
 
In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence.  Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered.  And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him. Hebrews 5:7-9

Through your obedience many will be saved.   You do not realize how much your life affects the lives of others.  Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?  Romans 6:16

There are those people around you that may never darken the door of a church building but because they have seen how you carry yourself and how you live they are drawn to you by the Holy Spirit so that you can share with them the Love of God on the inside of you.   

Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart. 1 Peter 1:22
