God’s Wisdom

Deuteronomy 32-34; 1 Corinthians 2 

“Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him…”

Deuteronomy 34:9

“This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words.”

1 Corinthians 2:13

There is a big difference between human wisdom and spiritual wisdom and we often must choose which type of wisdom we will listen to. Joshua was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses laid hands on him and conferred the anointing of God’s Spirit onto Joshua. This spiritual blessing was given to the Church at Pentecost and now millions across the world walk with Spirit-anointed wisdom as they commune with and listen to the Spirit of God. The spirit of wisdom begins with the fear, or reverence, and awe of God. Spiritual wisdom loves holiness, humility, unity, and the Gospel. God’s wisdom is not a function of how old we are or how many books we have read. God’s wisdom is found in a living relationship with God through his indwelling Holy Spirit.

Are we growing in God’s wisdom or human wisdom?

“Lord Jesus, you are wisdom personified and I desire to live in your steps, for your glory.”
