What is Wisdom?
Seeing and responding to life situations from God's frame of reference.
It's related to the motivational gift of Exhortation Scripture Text: "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom and with all thy getting get understanding." - Proverb 4:7 Some of the Attributes: Learning to see life from God's perspective. Recognizing a cause and effect relationship in life. Tracing conflicts to their root causes. Learning how to apply principals of life in daily situations. Discerning false philosophies and natural inclinations and rejecting them. Questions to ask yourself: 1. Can you contrast God's principals with natural inclinations? 2. Do you know the commands of Christ? 3. Are you aware that God is watching and weighing every one of your words, thoughts, actions, and attitudes? 4. Do you have a Godly hatred of evil and a genuine love for sinners? 5. Do you love those who reprove you? 6. Do you record the insights of wisdom God gives you? 7. Have you asked God for wisdom and treasured it more than gold? 8. Do you seek instruction of wise men and reject the teachings of fools? 9. Are you slow to answer and swift to hear? Projects and Bible Study Questions to help instill this quality: What is the difference between joy and happiness? Give an example of a natural inclination and the true wisdom that corresponds to it. How did Jesus demonstrate wisdom? Besides Jesus, which Bible character is commonly connected with wisdom? What books did he write? Read one chapter of Proverbs each day for a month.
