Episode 6 of our Wisdom is the Principal Thing series.

In this episode:

We are enlightened by these scriptures:

Prov 1:20-33, 2:1-22 | Psa 25:12-15, 82:1-8, | 1 Kin 3:4-28, 4:29-34, 10:1-29

In this series:

Prov 4:7 (NKJV) says; Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

I believe more than ever these words couldn’t be truer, in a world where many have lost FAITH not just in God but in the “system”, many are walking around HOPELESS and the word LOVE is thrown around unintentionally, not to mention decisions upon decisions; our own personal decisions and legislative ones being made without the backing of WISDOM…

These words, “Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding…” have prompted a deeper search into the wisdom of God - Elohim Adonai -the Everlasting and Ancient of Days.

Recently in one of my koinonia-s with the Lord, He said to me, “Calvin, how many people would jump at the opportunity to sit down with the richest or most famous or most influential or top performing etc. people in this world ?” Many of us given the opportunity would love to hear the words from one of these minds. Their words would be received like a most valuable treasure and stored in the depths of our heart if not nailed to our hearts. 

He went on to say, “You have a similar opportunity every day, everyday you can sit at the feet of the wisest and richest man who has ever lived on this planet.” And the only thing it would cost you is time. I said wooow, that’s true, my perspective changed as I was reading through Proverbs chapter 12 and 13. My eyes were being enlightened by ancient truths that have pillared our society today.  

I said with Joy and gladness in my heart, I’m going to treat further readings of the book of Proverbs as appointments with King Solomon. Everyday I will make it a habit to meet with King Solomon to give me the perspective of a King, why not? Besides Rev 1:6 says; “...and has made us Kings and Priests to His God…” and who wouldn’t want to hear words coming directly from a King?  

You see friend, in Christ we are many things and to be partakers of our new-creation-nature realities we must first renew our minds. Be ye transformed by the renewal of your mind (Rom 12:2).

Prov 1:7 (NKJV) says; “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Knowledge…” and Prov 9:10 (NKJV) says; “⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠”

With this new perspective, I believe that “The fear or reverence of God’s Word is the beginning of Spiritual encounters” 

So journey along, take a seat, get comfortable, open your eyes, ears, heart, mind and soul to receive this engrafted Word with meekness that is able to save our souls from the pits of Faith-lessness, Hope-lessness, Love-lessness and Wisdom-lessness. 

Enjoy this Wisdom is the Principal Thing series and we hope this episode blesses your heart!
