A Word Of Wisdom

A word of wisdom, a gift from the Holy Spirit.

I compared the gift of a word of wisdom to a carpenter's pencil. 

It is a necessary tool that can be used to leave a mark precisely where it needs to be so that the building and construction can take place accurately. 

It guides us where to cut and where to place things. 

Wisdom is the principal thing we need to know what we're doing and how to do it and then we can pull out the rest of the gifts that are needed to complete what God wants to do. 

A word of wisdom is a how-to guide that gives us direction and instruction for what we need to do. 

We found that these come in different moments like:

During persecution.

It can separate us from worldly knowledge.

Everyday situations

When we're trying to share or understand God's word.

Steven spoke and shared powerful words 

In James we learn that we can ask for a wisdom when we need it. 

Jesus demonstrated words of wisdom that caused those that were trying to trap him in carefully crafted questions he left them speechless. 

In Acts Peter and John when they were arrested for sharing the gospel and helping people, the Religious crowd was amazed that these fishermen spoke with such authority and wisdom. 

How do you see this gift working in your life now?
