He grants this to those who seek and search for it through His word and Him alone. Wisdom is so deep and wide. Sometimes we do not feel that we have wisdom because the moment we say we know everything or understand all things, it means we don\u2019t understand at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:20px\">So, how do we know that we have the wisdom of God aside from believing and knowing God\u2019s existence and His revelation? The evidence is not only having convictions, and unchanging information, by also the application of that wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:20px\">It says here, \u201c<em>He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity.\u201d <\/em>The idea is protection from doing the wrong things by protecting our testimony, our heart, and the right values. Being \u201cupright\u201d and \u201cwalking in integrity\u201d talks about our right standing before God and men. It is doing the right thing both in private and in public life with confidence, without fear and shame regardless of what people or cultures say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:20px\">God\u2019s wisdom in us is proven by our uprightness, integrity, and godliness. That is how God protects us, through His wisdom. It is not our innate power for we are weak, it is not our natural knowledge for we are foolish and ignorant, and it is not our strong will for we are apt to faint, but only by God\u2019s guidance, mercy, and faithfulness to grow is in wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:20px\">God is wise, whatever happens in this world He will not fail. We may not fully understand our situation today but relying on God\u2019s wisdom will guard our life and will enable us to practice righteousness, justice, and godliness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Is your life reflecting God\u2019s wisdom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Do you practice justice, uprightness, integrity, and godliness?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-grey-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:20px\">Come to God and ask for wisdom so that our life will bring glory to God. In Jesus\u2019 name. Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proverbs 2:7-9 \u201cHe stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":947,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-devotional"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Logo-7_Devotion_Purging-Word_Title-Cover_1200-x-628-copy.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1106"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1340,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1106\/revisions\/1340"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/947"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/purgingword.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
