The Lord giveth wisdom

Bagster's Daily Light - February 19 - Morning

The Lord giveth wisdom ...

For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding; 1

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 2

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. 3

For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 4

The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. I have stored up your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you. 5

And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?" 6

The officers answered, "No one ever spoke like this man!" 7

And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 8
