Godly wisdom is better than earthly wisdom
Some children tend to be far wiser than many older people.
It’s not the same as being more knowledgeable about current technologies or the latest trends. Often children mistake worldly wisdom for godly wisdom.
Be careful of the devil (attacks your mind) who wants you to believe that your worldly education makes you wiser than spiritual people.
Paul encourages young Timothy to be an exemplary youth (1 Timothy 4:12).
What makes a junior better than a senior?
Three necessary traits are required for children to grow in godly wisdom.
PRAYER LIFE & BIBLE MEDICATION
I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
David says he is wiser than many older people because he keeps God’s word . David proved himself wise because of his love for God, whereas Saul failed in loving God. Jesus heeded the voice of the Father. He prayed fervently to remain diligent in His walk (Hebrews 5:7). Seeking the counsel of the Father prepared Him for the trials and temptations ahead.
WILLING TO LEARN
Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
ecclesiastes 4:13
King Solomon realised that a poor and wise child is better than an old king who refuses to learn. When we ingrain an attitude to trust in God alone rather than our understanding (Proverbs 3:5), we stay refreshed and renewed. Jesus spent time at the synagogue listening to the elders. Even as a child, He did the Father’s business.
Joseph, Joshua, Caleb, Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Stephen, etc., all lived wisely. Their trust in God saved many lives in the process and furthered His work wherever they went.
You are the light of the world. Shine your light dear believer. Our time is now. Jesus is coming soon. Praise God, and Amen.
