"I have counsel and sound wisdom; I have insight; I have strength. By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just; by me princes ruler, and nobles, all who govern justly" (Proverbs 8:14-16)
It probably doesn't come to you as a huge surprise that life can be very confusing. There are decisions that have to be made on a daily basis. Those decisions need to be made wisely. It helps to have people in our lives who can give wise counsel and who can give us keen insight. Wisdom is such a friend. Wisdom comes to us bearing gifts.
Wisdom presents the gifts of wise counsel and sound judgement. She gives insight for the task at hand as well as strength to complete the task. She gives us the valor of a strong soldier who fights his way through repeated battles.
Wisdom presents herself to kings, princes, rulers, and nobles as they make decisions about just laws. With wisdom they rule. With wisdom they decree. To write truly fair laws for their people, those in authority must heed the wise counsel and sound judgement wisdom offers.
This wonderful truth applies to all in authority. It applies to bosses at work as well as parents at home. It applies to teachers in the classroom as well as Presidents in the White House.
All in authority are called upon to rule with the wise counsel, sound judgement, and moral strength freely offered by wisdom. She stands ready to hand her amazing gifts to those who will receive them.
