Get Wisdom #12

  Prov.4:7(Amp) says, "The beginning of Wisdom is, Get Wisdom (skillful and Godly Wisdom), For skillful and Godly Wisdom is the principal thing. And with all you have gotten, get understanding (discernment, comprehension and interpretation)."

  When God speaks about Wisdom, He is speaking about His Word, Jesus according to John1:1-2(Amp) which says, "In the beginning (before all time) was the Word (Christ) and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. He was present originally with God." Rev.19:13(Amp) tells us, "He was dressed in a robe dyed by dripping in blood, and the title by which He is called is The Word of God." Prov.8:30(Amp) says, "Then I Wisdom was beside Him as a Master and Director of the work; and I was daily His delight, rejoicing before Him always." John1:14(Amp) says, "And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human, incarnate)."

  There shouldn't be any doubt that Jesus, Wisdom and the Word of God are One and the Same. God and His Word are One and the Same Person, Who is Jesus. 1Cor.1:30(Amp) says, "But it is from Him (God) that you have your life in Christ Jesus, Whom God made our Wisdom from God." In order to "Get Wisdom," we must first of all realize that God's Word is Wisdom and that without His Word, we're left to our own wisdom and carnal thinking, along with the wisdom of men/women.

 America's laws were handed down from her Founding Fathers and for many decades, we adhered to the Constitution and government that God prescribed for our good. We've begun to lean towards the wisdom of men, instead of holding to the Wisdom of God. This has left our nation in a place of decline. We've leaned towards political parties, instead of Wisdom. Deut.28:12(Amp) says, "The Lord shall open to you His Good Treasury, the Heavens, to give to you the rains of your land in its season, and to Bless all the work of your hands; and you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow."

  America is deeply in debt to nations that don't have our best interest and can no longer be lending to others. This is because we haven't obeyed God's directions to "Get skillful and Godly Wisdom," and "Get understanding (discernment, comprehension, and interpretation)." We didn't heed God's instructions found in Prov.4:5(Amp), where He says, "DO NOT FORGET AND DO NOT TURN BACK FROM THE WORDS OF MY MOUTH." We've been trusting men and women to uphold the Constitution, but they turned their backs from God and the Constitution. We're reaping what we've been sowing. We witness rampant crime on our streets, our children no longer belong to us, we're not allowed to proclaim God's Word or pray in public places and our children are being turned to ungodly things of men's wisdom.

  We could have prevented these things, if only we hadn't forgotten and turned our backs from skillful and Godly Wisdom. Every one of us should be before God in prayer, to once again see our nation conform to His Wisdom. We've failed to heed God's Word. We still attend church on Sundays, we still hear sermons about God, but are we as individuals spending time in prayer and fellowship with God Himself? Are we seeking His will?

  God's Word is simply enough that even a simple man from southern Illinois, like me, can understand it. I don't want my boys to become girls or my grand-daughters to become boys. I want my precious family the way God gave it to me. I want our nation to be healthy and right, so they can grow up without being afraid to go outside. We need to get skillful and Godly Wisdom, so we can hand them down a prosperous and Godly country.
