Power of Wisdom
The Holy Spirit gives us the power of wisdom by illuminating our minds and hearts with divine wisdom. This wisdom differs from human wisdom based on human reasoning and knowledge. Instead, divine wisdom is the ability to see things from God’s perspective and to make decisions that are by His will.
The Holy Spirit helps us to access divine wisdom in several ways:
Illuminating the Word of God: When we read the Bible, the Holy Spirit helps us understand and apply its teachings. This includes gaining wisdom and insight into the ways of God.
Guiding us into all truth: As Jesus promised in John 16:13, the Holy Spirit guides us. This includes helping us to understand God’s will and purposes for our lives.
Giving us a deeper understanding of God’s nature: The Holy Spirit helps us to see God’s character and attributes more clearly. This, in turn, gives us a better understanding of His ways and His will for our lives.
Enabling us to discern right from wrong: The Holy Spirit helps us make wise decisions by giving us discernment and insight into right and wrong.
Ultimately, the power of wisdom from the Holy Spirit is a gift we can receive through faith and prayer. As we seek to live according to God’s will and rely on the Holy Spirit for guidance and direction, we will grow in wisdom and make wise decisions that honor God and bless others.
1 Cor 2:13 “Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
