And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

PSALM 32:8 (KJV)

I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go: I will guide thee with mine eye.

PROVERBS 2:6 (NLT)

For the Lord grants wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.

PROVERBS 4:7 (AMP)

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).

INTRODUCTION

The Bible emphasizes the importance of wisdom as one of the greatest qualities a child of God can possess. In fact, Proverbs 4:7 says wisdom is the principal thing. This means that wisdom is the most important and most relevant thing to get. 

What then is wisdom? Wisdom is seeking and having access to bible-based knowledge, acquiring as much understanding of the knowledge as we can, and applying that understanding in our daily lives. Simply put, wisdom is the right application of knowledge. Why is so much importance attached to wisdom? It is because wisdom can help us get to any height we want to attain, reach any goal we have set and serve God better. 

God’s direction is likewise important in our life’s journey as a Christian. Whatever ideas we have which are inspired by God will always stand the test of life. It will also be successful no matter how illogical it seems to human reasoning. Let us consider the case of David when he was about to face Goliath. He picked just stones and a sling, as against the armour of King Saul which was given to him. Humanly speaking, it is illogical, no, stupid to think he could defeat a war lord with just stone and sling. But because the idea was inspired by the wisdom of God in David, it actually worked!

Another example of God’s direction is the story of Isaac in Gerar during the famine. God instructed him not to go down to Egypt, but to dwell in the land of Gerar. He obeyed, and God prospered in the land, even during a period of drought and famine. The Bible says, “Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:” (Genesis 26:12-13 KJV). This is a clear example of God’s leading and direction, laden with divine wisdom.

How can we get wisdom as Christians? There are a number of ways we can acquire wisdom. Some of them are:

1. Going to the source of all wisdom; God Himself.
2. Acknowledge that God has the answers to all life’s problems.
3. Ask God for wisdom as written in James 1:5.
4. Believe that God will lead and direct you, and be ready to follow Him in obedience.
5. Translate your trust into action.
6. Check your decisions against God’s will to ensure that you are not contradicting His will.

It is on this backdrop that we base our prayers in this article.
