WHAT IS WISDOM?

Wealth from experience.
Integrity for truth.
Saying what is important.
Discerning motives and methods.
Order out of chaos.
Making the best choice with what is at hand.

Wisdom is not distracted by complications, it remains simple and to the point.

Wisdom sees that the need is sometimes more important than the solution.

Wisdom without compassion is like offering an instructional manual to a man on his death bed.

Wisdom without mercy is like telling a drowning person the life preserver is in the boat.

Luke 5:31-32 NKJV
Jesus answered and said to them, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.”

{Poetry2Ponder} WISE COUNSEL 10/09/04 When I ask to be a part of your life It is not intended to cause you strife. When I grant you My mirror of what I see It is not meant to cause shame in thee. When I send you My wisdom of what could be better It is not given for you to walk in law or letter. The dots and tittles of your life Are finely honed from My carving knife. Not for pain, not for gain, Yet for Me, just the same. I want you to be, all that you can, As you stand in My image, and as a man. I want to send you My helpers from men and angels They will give wise counsel to keep you from danger. Trust Me to cover the places that are blind With team work and graces to help you refine. You were not meant to build all alone But in harmony and blend of perfect tones. Your notes shall resound for greater impact My provision will be plenty, you’ll not suffer lack. Embrace My wisdom and counsel from afar And you shall succeed in all that you are. As My builder and craftsman I will give you My tools I shall set you on My rock with borders of jewels. For what you have spent is planted in the sky To rain upon the earth multiplied blessings in disguise. A harvest is prepared for these My children. And you shall rejoice as you see them win The race that is set before them to run. Their destiny is waiting, their victory to be won. So let My wisdom and counsel reign from above As you humble yourself and receive from My dove. I have called you My own, chosen among many this day To be My ensign, in My army to pray. To pull down and root out and build and repair. It’s My kingdom on earth as you rule from your chair. The Spirit of Might is upon your shoulders It bursts from within as you grow older. Let My power come forth from your mouth and your hands As you speak My Word and issue commands. It’s not in your strength to make things occur Only in My blood will things be procured. Let My kingdom rule take place in your heart Then My kingdom on earth is birthed as a start. It’s not with observation to the naked eye But as you yield to Me all that can die. You have done well My child, My chosen one. I give you My resurrection power, your work has begun. Isa 11:1-5 NLT Out of the stump of David's family will grow a shoot — yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root. And the Spirit of the LORD will rest on him — the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD. He will delight in obeying the LORD. He will never judge by appearance, false evidence, or hearsay. He will defend the poor and the exploited. He will rule against the wicked and destroy them with the breath of his mouth. He will be clothed with fairness and truth.   Sandy Warner swauthor777@usa.net www.thequickenedword.com
