Proverbs 3:19
"The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by
understanding hath he established the heavens."
The eighth attribute of God is, God is Wise. We have already talked about God's omniscience, and it is based on His eternity and omnipresence. We may say His wisdom is grounded upon His omniscience. Even though, knowledge and wisdom are closely related they are not the same. And they do not always accompany each other. There is no doubt we have all known those who had acquired a great deal of facts, but did not have the ability to use them.
Wisdom and knowledge are imperfect in man but perfect and perfectly related to each other in God. Only God knows how to use His infinite knowledge to the best possible end. Through His wisdom God applies His knowledge to fulfillment of His own purposes in ways which will bring the most glory to Him. Here are just a few of passages which declare the wisdom of God: "To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever," (Ps. 136:5). "But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: (1 Cor. 2:7). "Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen." (1 Tim. 1:17). "To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen," (Jude 1:25).
Amen!
