(Day 17 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -

Wisdom is truly important for all areas of our life.
The first thing to get is wisdom and understanding to establish the foundation of our life.
A wise person seeks to know Jesus more, to gain further spiritual insight from God.
Then as we listen to Jesus-centered sermons, spend time in prayer and in God’s word, we gain more knowledge of Jesus and through that we receive abundance.
After that, our house be filled with all the material blessings.
“Through [skillful and godly] wisdom a house [a life, a home, a family] is built, And by understanding it is established [on a sound and good foundation], And by knowledge its rooms are filled With all precious and pleasant riches.” (PROVERBS 24:3-4 AMP)
Continuously feeding on God’s word strengthens us and prepares us to successfully overcome the trials of life.
“A wise man is strong, And a man of knowledge strengthens his power; For by wise guidance you can wage your war, And in an abundance of [wise] counselors there is victory and safety.” (PROVERBS 24:5-6 AMP)
Foolish people will think that wisdom is something impractical, and they will chase material blessings, especially when they are in a desperate situation.
However getting God’s wisdom is the most practical thing you can do because it leads to long life, riches, honor, peace and pleasure.
“Wisdom is too exalted for a [hardened, arrogant] fool; He does not open his mouth in the gate [where the city’s rulers sit in judgment].” (PROVERBS 24:7 AMP)
Facing a trial in life and seeing our response to it will be a good test to see how much wisdom we have received from God, and where we are at now in our spiritual maturity.
“If you are slack (careless) in the day of distress, Your strength is limited.” (PROVERBS 24:10 AMP)
Wisdom is more satisfying and beneficial than eating sweet honey.
It is worth it to prioritize receiving God’s wisdom on a daily basis.
“My son, eat honey, because it is good, And the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste. Know that [skillful and godly] wisdom is [so very good] for your life and soul; If you find wisdom, then there will be a future and a reward, And your hope and expectation will not be cut off.” (PROVERBS 24:13-14 AMP)
Seven is the number of completion. Creation took seven days to be completed.
Falling seven times represents falling utterly and severely in life.
Even if believers go through a rough patch in life, they can surely know that they will rise up again! We can never be permanently beaten down.
“For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, But the wicked stumble in time of disaster and collapse.” (PROVERBS 24:16 AMP)
There is wisdom in living life in this order:
1) Prepare your work: Building your career.
2) Build your house: Get your own property.
3) Establish a home: Start a family - Get married and have kids.
Pray for the Lord to bless you and guide you by His wisdom in each stage of your life.
“Prepare your work outside And get it ready for yourself in the field; Afterward build your house and establish a home.” (PROVERBS 24:27 AMP)
A person who has received God’s wisdom will not be lazy anymore.
The consequence of laziness is poverty.
God’s will for us is to be diligent and not lazy.
“I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man lacking understanding and common sense; And, behold, it was all overgrown with thorns, And nettles were covering its surface, And its stone wall was broken down. When I saw, I considered it well; I looked and received instruction. “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest [and daydream],” Then your poverty will come as a robber, And your want like an armed man.” (PROVERBS 24:30-34 AMP)
