Wisdom

Overview

Biblical wisdom encompasses both practical skill and spiritual understanding. God grants wisdom to His people for specific purposes—from craftsmanship and leadership to discernment and counsel. This divine gift enables believers to work with excellence and make decisions aligned with God's character.

Key Scriptures

"And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship" (Exodus 31:3, NKJV). "So Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every gifted artisan in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred to come do the work" (Exodus 35:31, NKJV). "Then Daniel said, 'Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, to whom belong wisdom and might'" (Daniel 2:20, ESV).

Application

Seek God's wisdom through prayer and Scripture, recognizing that all true understanding comes from Him and should be used to serve others and glorify His name.
