Get Wisdom #14

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

  Wisdom is the Word of God and Jesus is the Word of God made flesh, according to John1:14(Amp), which says, "And the Word (Christ) became flesh (human,incarnate) and tabernacled (lived awhile) among us." It's difficult to comprehend the full meaning and understanding of this, using just the carnal mind and man's wisdom. How can words create a universe? How can words create all living matter and the animal kingdom? How can words create humans, with none being alike? 

  We read what Wisdom says about our health in Prov.4:20-22(Amp). Thus it says, "My Son, attend to My Word which is Wisdom, consent and submit to My sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh." Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead, but we've nearly all concluded that, "He did it because He was Jesus." Isaiah1:18(Amp) says, "Come now, and let Us reason together says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, the shall be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool."

  Is.42:19-20(Amp) says, "Who is blind by My servant (Israel)? or deaf like My messenger whom I sent? Who is blind like the one who is at peace with Me (who has been admitted to covenant relationship with Me)? Yes, who is blind like the Lord servant? You have seen many things, but you do not observe or apprehend their true meaning. His ears are open, but he hears not." God tells us in Is.55:8-11(Amp), "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts higher than your thoughts. For as the rain and snow came down from the heavens and return not there again; but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout; that it may give seed to the sower and breathe to the eater. So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My Mouth, it (His Word) shall not return to Me void (without producing any effect, useless), but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the things for which I sent it."

  Our God created all things by His Word and is still upholding all things, by His Word. We've failed to keep His Word continually in our mouths and our hearts, like God instructed. This leaves us void of power to stand like we're instructed to do. Prov.4:23-24(Amp) says, "Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance, and above all that you guard for out of it flow the springs of life." Mark4:23-24(Amp) says,"If any man has ears to hear, let him be listening and let him perceive and comprehend. And He [Jesus] said to them, Be careful of what you are hearing, the measure of (thought and study you give to the Truth you are hearing) will be the measure (of virtue and knowledge) that comes back to you, and more besides will be given to you who hear."

  Prov.4:24(Amp) says, "Put away from you false and dishonest speech and willful and contrary talk put far from you." Do words really make a difference in what we receive in this life? God thinks they do, so let's honor God, Who's ways are higher and Who's thoughts are higher than ours. Let's"Reason together with Him," like God says in Is.1:18.
