Wisdom

1 Corinthians 1:30a But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God:

Wisdom is Christ! This matter of wisdom has been deeply impressing me and it has been my prayers since I realised that only Christ is wisdom, and without Christ as wisdom in my life, I would be the greatest fool. In every matter of my Christian life, I need wisdom. Be it for personal matter or official or even spiritual, without Christ as my wisdom I would be snared in unnecessary labor and trouble. In my daily personal walk and work, experiencing Christ as wisdom is all rest and peace. So my prayer in the office or in some personal decision making matter has ever been to take and experience Christ as wisdom.

Patterns in the Bible

Daniel

Daniel 1:17, 20 God gave them knowledge and insight in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. And in every matter of wisdom and understanding that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and conjurers who were in all his realm.

It was God who gave Daniel knowledge, insight and wisdom. The source of wisdom is God Himself. Experiencing God as wisdom is the only way to be wise. Daniel acknowledged this and exalted God in every act of manifesting God's wisdom. He knew the source and honored the source accordingly. In Daniel 2:20-22  Daniel answered and said, Let the name of God Be blessed from eternity to eternity, For wisdom and might are His. And it is He who changes the times and seasons; He deposes kings and causes kings to ascend. He gives wisdom to the wise And knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals the deep things and the hidden things; He knows what is obscured in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him.

Solomon

And similarly, it was God who gave wisdom to Solomon. 1 Kings 3 :9-13 Give therefore to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people and to discern between good and evil. .. I now give you a heart of wisdom and understanding, 4:29-30  And God gave Solomon wisdom and very much understanding and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the seashore. And Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the children of the east and all the wisdom of Egypt. 1 Kings 10:23-24  And King Solomon excelled all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom. And all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

In the New Testament, Christ is Wisdom. Any one who wants to be wise and learned must believe into Christ and receive Him into him. Whenever I got to fellowship with students and working saints I always ministered this  matter of experiencing Christ as wisdom. Every morning as I dropped my children to school, our prayer has been, "Lord be our wisdom and understanding." Similarly, in all our official planning and execution, our prayer has been, "Lord be our wisdom."

I need wisdom to shepherd the saints according to their need, I need wisdom to be responsible father in a family and in the church. In my going out and coming in, and in every matter, I need Christ as my wisdom. 

Lord, filled me with You as my wisdom for today and all the days to come.
