All of us need wisdom in order to conduct our lives successfully.
Life, like a game of snake and ladder is full of pitfalls, traps and few ladders. One wrong move brings us to the foot of the ladder, only leaving us to try again harder to make things better. Common words of advice when in trouble are ‘Use wisdom to handle the situation’, ‘Be wise’. In the process of living out a smart life, we lose time, relationships, money and our self-confidence. Is this how life was designed for us to live? Can we go beyond the commonness …show more content…

How does one receive the Spirit of Wisdom?
It is received from God through prayer (Ephesians 1:17).
We must begin to pray as never before for the spirit of wisdom to see things as God sees them and to act intelligently when we pursue a course of action. Even this year we will find ourselves facing a variety of circumstances. The Holy Spirit can bring us the right guidance. This is what Paul is saying... Get your plans and goals and vision from God... See what God wants for your life and use that knowledge to fulfill your destiny.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:”
Psalms 111:10 (Kind James Version)
To fear the Lord means to please God by obeying His commandments; praying all the time; reading the Bible which enables the Holy Spirit to speak to us concerning our life. The Holy Spirit is the one who produces the spirit of wisdom in us, giving us the ability to discern the right action and the right way to proceed making right choices. The wisdom which is from above is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy and good fruits; without partiality, and without hypocrisy. According to James

  • The Unusual Message Of This Is Water By David Foster Wallace

    1070 Words  | 5 Pages

    The Unusual Message Reading the commencement speech “This is Water”, written and delivered by David Foster Wallace to students and their families at Kenyon College was nothing like what I was expecting it to be. I can imagine the listeners that were present were just as shocked as I was when they finally grasped the message he was presenting to them that day. Normally when someone delivers a commencement speech to students graduating, it's more along the lines of “be all that you can be” or “You can do it” with emphasis on the word “you.” No one really tells you to think of others first at that point in your lives. However, Wallace did just that.

    Wisdom is a trait many people desire, but wisdom is gained through self-experience and cannot be taught. In the novel, Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse the protagonist Siddhartha identifies he can only learn from himself, when he converses with Gotama and discovers his teachings have flaws. “You have learned nothing through teachings, and so I think, O Illustrious One, that nobody finds salvation through teachings.

    Jesus and the holy spirit are just different forms of God. It is up to us how we see them. Our churches may have a certain image of them, but reading this book made me think it is up to ourselves how we see God, Jesus, and the holy spirit. It is easy for us to see Jesus as a handsome, tall, strong man, but he was not. He was just like us, his people.

  • Summary: Perspectives On SPIRIT Baptism

    1730 Words  | 7 Pages

    PERSPECTIVES ON SPIRIT BAPTISM The Reform position of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is possibly the most commonly held position in the American mid-west. Walter Kaiser is a brilliant theologian but very typical in his assessment of the Holy Spirit’s representation in the New Testament. Kaiser does a masterful job of presenting the theological and chronological exegesis of the Holy Spirit without jumping off the Calvinist cliff. He makes an excellent observation of seeing the Pauline letters as didactic and Lukan letters as narrative, but falls short of full scholarship by asserting that narrative passages could not be doctrinal in scope.

  • Wisdom In Plato's Apology

    298 Words  | 2 Pages

    For this week's journal entry, I would like to bring up the idea of "wisdom" in reference to Plato's Apology.  Personally, I find that the way in which Socrates defends is wisdom is admirable, and although it leads to the verdict of him being killed, I think that this decision and the reaction by Socrates helps define wisdom. Socrates, in essence, says that he does not fear death because he is wise.  No one knows what death is -- perhaps it may be the best thing a person gets to experience. However, a person that is unwise would approach death into thinking that it is the worst thing that can happen in life.

  • Comparing Plato's Allegory Of The Cave And The Book Of Job

    Those who possess great knowledge are often praised among society. They are viewed as leaders of the future as they assume the raw knowledge will lead us towards a greater life. While the ignorant eyes focus on the intelligent, the wise become overlooked. Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” portrays how philosophers struggle with others as they are often ignored or shunned for their different views. The “Book of Job” from the Old Testament also shows the ignorance that is apparent in the world as common people tend to stick to what they know.

After I carefully read through these verses, I understood that the apostles were casting demons out of the people. Demon possession is when an evil spirit inhabits a hapless victim.

    As stated, God has created all of nature and thus His truth should be able to be found through it. Because of this, Christians should also understand that knowledge gained from nature can be true even if it is not outlined in the Bible. As a sinful people discerning God’s truth from nature, it is necessary for there to be a lot of wisdom and self-reflection on the Christian’s part. In understanding psychology and theology, we as Christians must first understand intellectual humility. Entwistle said this about intellectual humility, “Humility as an intellectual virtue involves our recognition of our intellectual abilities and liabilities.

  • Spirit In Gattaca

    1452 Words  | 6 Pages

    The 1997 American speculative fiction film ‘Gattaca,’ directed by Andrew Niccol delves deeply into the concept of the human spirit and truly follows throughout the film one simple theme; that the human spirit will always prevail despite an uncaring fate. Niccol explores the notion that the human spirit has the capacity to overcome in his futuristic world of ‘Gattaca,’ by following Vincent Freeman. Vincent represents powerful notions such as perseverance and humanity, and through his victory epitomizes humanities triumph over science. The definition of the human spirit and its relation to the term ‘God Child,’ implies that valid children are without human spirit. Niccol therefore, through that connection implies that all children deemed valid

  • Wisdom Sits In Places Summary

    Basso gets the readers involved through his book, and shows the important of how history needs to be passed down from generation to generation. Basso named his book exactly right because wisdom does sit in places, and you just have to have the knowledge to tap into that wisdom. This wisdom is passed down from generation and each generation can add their own story for the next. To even say that wisdom sits in places is a powerful saying because you can tap into that wisdom to better yourself morally, or find a sense of place. The idea that wisdom sits in places in a profound saying that explains itself, because it means so much in just one saying.
