Throughout Scripture, we learn that God is infinitely wise. “O L ORD, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches” (Ps 104:24). “The L ORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens” (Prov 3:19). “Who would not fear thee, O King of the nations? For to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee” (Jer 10:7). “Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his” (Dan 2:20).

Throughout Scripture, we learn that God is infinitely wise. “O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!” (Rom 11:33). “To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen” (Rom 16:27). “The foolishness of God is wiser than men” (1 Cor 1:25).

“Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite” (Ps 147:5). “If our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things” (1 Jn 3:20).

everything One: God knows everything about me. “The very hairs of your head are all numbered” (Matt 10:30). God knows what sins I commit. “Thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly” (Matt 6:6). “All things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do” (Heb 4:13). God knows what I need to pray about. “Your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him” (Matt 6:8). Two: God knows the future as well as the past. “Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God” (Acts 2:23). “God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew” (Rom 11:2).

God knows things we shall never know. “The foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men” (1 Cor 1:25). Some things we shall never know include: The inner workings of the universe. The problem of pain & suffering. When we are in intense pain, we often ask the question, “God, why me?” Job 38:2-11.

We are able to seek God’s wisdom through Scripture. “Whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock” (Matt 7:24). “From a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim 3:15). We must also ask God for wisdom. “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” (Js 1:5).

H uman wisdom begins by honoring God. “ The fear of the L ORD is the beginning of wisdom” (Ps 111:10). A re y yy you honoring & reverencing God? A re y yy you wise?
