Wisdom..... It’s one thing to have wisdom; it’s another thing to be wise. They’re not the same thing. In the first case wisdom is a possession; it’s something you have. In the second instance, it is a nature; it’s who you are. “So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are no longer heeded.” ~Ecclesiastes 9:16 Many folks have wisdom, but they are not wise. The poor man’s wisdom is despised, because though he possess that, he is not wise. It is impossible to be wise and poor at the same time. But it is possible to have wisdom and still be poor. This happens when you have the habit of dishing out all kinds of smart advice and great suggestions to folks, but you don’t apply them in your own life. You observe this distressing phenomenon in your life when you know so much, but you don’t allow what you know to transform your thoughts, speech and actions. In this case, you have wisdom, but you are not wise. You are not experiencing the advantages that come with being wise. So, I encourage you today to walk in wisdom. Let it be your nature. Apply what you know to your circumstances. Allow the knowledge you have to transform how you think, what you say and what you do. Don’t just have the wisdom, be wise. If you do this, you will experience constant metamorphosis, and enjoy a rich and fulfilling walk with God.
