A life dedicated to spiritual wisdom is one of the most dynamic states of beings that a Christian can possess. The mystery of wisdom is greater than anyone can imagine. It goes beyond the surface and deeper than anyone can ever imagine. Nevertheless, if we believe in what we know about spiritual wisdom, it will give us the power to do incredible things for our families, communities, and nation. Receiving wisdom and using it in the daily grind of our lives will eventually lead us to a life of peace, joy, and prosperity. But first we must be aware of what it can do for us, and embrace it fully. Let's discover some of the most dynamic things that wisdom can do for us who receives it.

Spiritual wisdom is revolutionary. It confronts fear head-on despite trembling knees. It realizes that cowardliness is a curse and has prevented progress in the lives of many. Wisdom ignores the odds, and does the right thing for all involved. In the old testament, for example, King David, the shepherd boy confronted the enemies of Israel, including the fierce giant Goliath and slew him. He remembered that God had already delivered him for a lion and a bear. Also, Joshua, a great warrior of the old testament, conquered enemy territory by constantly trusting the wisdom of God.

How many of us have let wonderful opportunities pass by us because we were afraid to trust in the wisdom God? We can all look back over all lives and imagine what could have been if we had bested fear and intimidation. Maybe we were told at an early age that we wouldn't amount to anything. Maybe a parent or teacher implanted these poisonous words in our minds. And we may have believed them. However, we have survived and we can influence our tomorrows if we trust in the spiritual wisdom of God's words. His words say great and wonderful things about our capability. First, he has given us dominion over the earth and has told us to grow and expand in all directions (Gen 1: 28-29). Second, he says that we are newly created beings (godly people) and that old things (thoughts, ways, habits,) have all been changed (2 Cor 5: 17). We are no longer our old selves who were full of fear and failure. Instead we have been given spiritual licenses to conquer every fear that ever interfered with the quality of our lives. But in order to appreciate the wisdom of God we must believe in what he says about us, and face those fears that are still blocking our mental, spiritual, and physical prosperity.

Wisdom creates honor.
