Wisdom, Power, Counsel And Understanding



“To God belong wisdom and power;
    counsel and understanding are his.”

—Job 12:13 (NIV)


Almighty and Wise God,


Wisdom and power belong to You—and all counsel and understanding are already Yours! How great are You, God!


For a man limited by this world, any wisdom he might gain only comes after many years of long and hard experiences, when that wisdom is difficult to act upon—when the vitality and strength he had in his youth has passed.

But it doesn’t have to be that way for the one who knows and serves You, God—the God of all wisdom and power, the God who never needs to go find counsel, or study to receive understanding, because it already belongs to Him.

For when that man follows wholeheartedly after You, he finds that Your plans and purposes are perfect—wisely crafted to always be the best for him! 

And in You he finds the strength he needs for his journey here, along with the wisdom he requires from Your Word—as he depends on You for the counsel and the understanding that he must have in order to do those things You have for him to do.


Wisdom and power belong to You—and all counsel and understanding are already Yours! How great are You, God!


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
