Life is?? Wisdom is God’s point of view

** Wisdom is seeing life from God’s point of view.
“Apply your heart to discipline” (Prov. 23:12). **

I love Proverbs:

Proverbs 19:11 because of knowing someone born in 1911, then this verse will remind you:

“A man’s wisdom gives him patience; it is to his glory to overlook an offense” (NIV).

The mind has always been more important to God than our outward actions.

In the Old Testament, the emphasis was on the heart. At times, the Bible uses the word heart where we would use the word mind, as in the injunction,

“Apply your heart to discipline” (Prov. 23:12).

In the New Testament, Jesus used the word heart in the same sense:

“And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, ‘Why are you thinking evil in your hearts?'” (Matt. 9:4).

Most of us, most of the time, are satisfied if we satisfy the expectations of society and the requirements of God by our outer, visible actions.

God looks on the inner; He said, as early as Samuel’s day, that “man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Sam. 16:7).

In the more restricted emphasis of the New Testament, we can say

“the Lord looks at the mind.”


Some of the ways include to do so:

Expositionally: What does it mean?
Doctrinally: How does it define ideas?
Redemptively: How does it relate to Jesus and the gospel?
Practically: How does God apply this to my life?

To use these fully you must have Godly Wisdom!


Wisdom, Gothard said, was seeing life from God’s point of view.

The thing I remember most clearly was his definition of wisdom.

And then he went on to emphasize the importance of Scripture memory and meditation. Gothard said that meditation is the practice of memorizing, visualizing, and personalizing Scripture.


As we faithfully memorize and meditate on Scripture, the Holy Spirit will gradually remold our minds until we see things and evaluate life increasingly from God’s point of view, and that’s the essence of wisdom.
