O the Depth of Gods ....Wisdom! What Is Divine Wisdom? Wisdom is not the same as knowledge. Computers can store enormous amounts of knowledge, but it is hard to imagine anyone calling such machine wise. Nonetheless, knowledge and wisdom are related. (Proverbs 10:14) For instance, if you needed wise counsel on treating a serious health problem, would you consult someone with little or no knowledge of medicine? Hardly! So accurately knowledge is essential to true wisdom. Jehovah God has a boundless store of knowledge. As the King of eternity, he alone has been alive forever. (Revelation 15:3) And during all those untold ages, he has been aware of everything. The Bible says: There is not a creation that is not manifest to his sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of him with whom we have an accounting. (Hebrews 4:4:13; Proverbs 15:3) As the Creator, Jehovah has full understanding of what he has made, and he has observed all human activity from the start. He examines each human heart, missing nothing. (1 Chronicles 28:9) Having created us as free moral agents, he is pleased when he sees that we are making wise choices in life. As the Hearer of prayer, he listens to countless expressions at once! (Psalm 65:2) And needless to say, Jehovah has a perfect memory. God has more than knowledge. He also sees how facts interrelate and discerns the overall picture that is created by myriad details. He evaluates and judges, distinguishing between good and bad, important and trivial. Moreover, he looks beyond the surface and peers right into the heart. (1Sam. 16:7) Thus, Jehovah has understanding and discernment, qualities that are superior to knowledge. But wisdom is of a still higher order. Wisdom brings knowledge, discernment, and understanding together and puts them to work. Some of the original Bible words translated wisdom literally mean effectual working or practical wisdom, So Jehovahs wisdom is not merely theoretical. It is practical, and it works. Drawing upon his breadth of knowledge and his depth of understanding, Jehovah always makes the best decisions possible, carrying them out by means of the best course of action conceivable. That is true wisdom!!!! Jehovah demonstrates the truth of Jesus statement: Wisdom is proved righteous by its works. (Matt. 11:19) Jehovahs works throughout the universe give powerful testimony to his wisdom. Have A Great Day Fellow Bible Readers!!
