Wisdom for My Work, April 16
Growing in Wisdom and Knowledge
I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of
workmanship.
Exodus 31:3
You need not go to the end of the earth for wisdom, for God is near....
He longs to have you reach after Him by faith. He longs to have you
expect great things from Him. He longs to give you understanding in
temporal as well as in spiritual matters. He can sharpen the intellect.
He can give tact and skill. Put your talents into the work, ask God for
wisdom, and it will be given you.
To every one who constantly yields his will to the will of the Infinite,
to be led and taught of God, there is promised an ever-increasing de-
velopment of spiritual things. God fixes no limit to the advancement of
those who are “filled with the knowledge of His will and in all wisdom
and spiritual understanding.”
Those who make God their efficiency realize their own weakness,
and the Lord supplies them with His wisdom. As day by day they depend
upon God, carrying out His will with humility and wholeheartedness
and strictest integrity, they increase in knowledge and ability. By willing
obedience they show reverence and honor to God, and are honored by
Him.
The case of Daniel reveals to us the fact that the Lord is always ready
to hear the prayers of the contrite soul, and when we seek the Lord with
all our hearts, He will answer our petitions. Here is revealed where
Daniel obtained his skill and understanding; and if we will only ask of
God wisdom, we may be blessed with increased ability and with power
from heaven.
