We need to Mature in:

Wisdom

 

James 1:5, “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.

Wisdom as it pertains to the Word of God has been defined as, “looking at

things from God’s perspective. The only way we can be able to do that is by

reading, knowing, studying, and meditating on the Word of God.

The book of Proverbs teaches us in;

Proverbs 9:10,  “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the

knowledge of the holy is understanding. 

That word fear means, “reverence,” we will reverence God when we

understand His Power, His Presence, and His Provision.

What does it mean to fear or “reverence” God?

We are told in Proverbs 8:13, “The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and

arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate”. 

The word froward means “perverse,” unfortunately we have been

conditioned by the world to tolerate, accept, and in many cases embrace

sin.

Evil, pride, arrogancy, evil ways, and perversion are to be hated because of

the destruction it can cause in lives, families, communities and in our

country.

We would all do well to heed the words found in Proverbs 4:7, “Wisdom is the

principal thing; therefore, get wisdom: and with all thy getting get

understanding.”
