Tonight, in our Wednesday night service, I preached on Wisdom. Here are some key statements that I made about wisdom.

• God is infinitely wise and gives His wisdom to those seeking it. The harder we seek it, the more He gives.
• There are few wise people; Solomon said one in one thousand.
• Wisdom is knowing what to do and say in any situation.
• Our choices, actions, and words are like seeds we plant; they will all yield a crop. Good choices bring good results, and bad choices bring bad consequences.
• Wisdom is knowing what the crop will be before we plant the seed and being careful only to plant those seeds that will bring a good crop.
• The greatest barrier to wisdom is pride. We think we know it all already, so we don’t seek it.
• If we make bad choices and end up in dire circumstances because of our lack of wisdom, God will not bail us out, no matter how much we pray.
• We get wisdom by seeking counsel and advice from wise people. Prideful people don’t ask.
• Wise people learn from their mistakes; they don’t blame others for the consequences they experience from their poor choices.
• Wise people are readers. They seek wisdom from those who have been successful and have written about it.
• The Bible is the most significant source of wisdom; wise people read it extensively.
• Wise people have healthy relationships, are financially secure, and bear much fruit for God.
• Wisdom is the key to being a good leader.
• Wise people are kind and speak graciously to others.
