Wisdom is Proved Right by Her Actions

Matthew 11:19
"...Wisdom is proved right by her actions."

This hit me this morning as I spent some time with the Lord in the Word. Who doesn't want to be wise? What is wisdom? (http://www.pbministries.org/books/pink/Miscellaneous/fear_of_the_lord.htm) ; Proverbs 1:7, "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom" (Proverbs 9:10, Jo:28:28, Psalm 111:10 states similarly). Revering, fearing, recognizing the Majesty, Splendor, Power, Might - the All-ness of God - that is only the BEGINNING of wisdom!

Rightly applying knowledge and understanding from God's point of view, in everyday life, is wisdom. And then the Scripture, Jesus Himself stated, that the proof of wisdom is revealed in actions...what is the result of my action today? Will it prove (today or in the day's to come) to be wise - or foolish? Will my actions prove to be self-centered or Christ-centered? Will my actions prove to be worthy of eternity or will they be burned up in the last days?

Will you join me in asking these questions of ourselves today? Ask God. He will be please to show us. Do you need wisdom today? YES, I do! James says that if we ask God for wisdom...God will give it to us generously and without reproach (w/o blaming, shaming, or calling into question) (James 1:5).

"Lord thank You that You are the One who holds all wisdom. Thank You, All-Wise One, that You not only are All-Wise but that You will give wisdom to me, to us when we ask! James tell us our approach in asking is key, we must ask You and not doubt that You are able and will give us Wisdom! We believe Lord, help our unbelief!"
