It is God who gives us wisdom in all things. Therefore we should praise God.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ... 

 

Humans often praise men for their skills when they see them.  And they praise men for their plans that are wise.  But we should remember that all skills and all wisdom are given to man by God and therefore we should praise God.  When we see the great mountains, we should praise God for creating those mountains.

 

Many praise men ... but we should praise God who gives all things to men.

Proverbs 8

 

12 I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.

 

13 The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.

 

14 Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.

 

15 By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.

 

16 By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

 

17 I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.

 

18 Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.

 

19 My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.

 

20 I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

 

21 That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

 

22 The Lord possessed me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old.

 

23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

 

24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.

 

25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:

 

26 While as yet HE had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.

 

27 When HE prepared the heavens, I was there: when HE set a compass upon the face of the depth:

 

28 When HE established the clouds above: when HE strengthened the fountains of the deep:

 

29 When HE gave to the sea His decree, that the waters should not pass His commandment: when HE appointed the foundations of the earth:

 

30 Then I was by HIM, as one brought up with Him: and I was daily His delight, rejoicing always before Him;

Proverbs 3

 

6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

 

7 HE layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: HE is a buckler to them that walk uprightly.

 

8 HE keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of His saints.

II Corinthians 3:5  Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God;

 

***

 

Psalm 111:10  The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do HIS commandments: HIS praise endureth for ever.
