DAY 3: WISDOM OF GOD- Pastor Ras

DAY 3: WISDOM OF GOD

Jeremiah 23:5 (NIV) 5“The days are coming”, declares the Lord, “when I will raise up for David a righteous branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land.”

Devotional:

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, it's easy to overlook the profound wisdom that surrounds us, particularly the divine wisdom exemplified by Jesus Christ. Today's scripture, Jeremiah 23:5, beautifully captures the essence of this wisdom, heralding the arrival of a King who personifies righteousness and justice.

This King is none other than Jesus, a branch stemming from the lineage of David. Jesus's coming was not just a fulfillment of prophecy but also a manifestation of divine wisdom in human form. His life, teachings, and actions provide us with a blueprint for living wisely and justly.

Reflecting on this, we are reminded of King Solomon, renowned for his wisdom. Yet, even Solomon's celebrated intellect pales in comparison to the wisdom of Jesus. In 1 Kings 3:12, Solomon's wisdom is acknowledged as unparalleled, but Jesus brings a deeper, more profound understanding that transcends human reasoning.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, in Your infinite wisdom, You sent Your Son, Jesus Christ, to be our guide and example. I am in awe of the depth of wisdom found in His life and teachings. I pray for the discernment to comprehend and embrace the truths that Jesus personified. May His wisdom guide my steps, and may my heart be open to the lessons He imparts. In Jesus's mighty name, Amen.
