Proverbs 4:7 ‘Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.’
DAILY READING • Acts 1; Deuteronomy 11-12; Job 9
Albert Einstein is often cited as one of the most influential scientists of the 20th century. However,
Albert Einstein said his own achievements were because ‘he stood on the shoulders of James Clerk Maxwell’,. He kept the portrait of Maxwell on his wall as an inspiration.
James Clerk Maxwell was undoubtedly one of the greatest physicists, the world had ever known.
Maxwell’s insights on electromagnetism laid the foundation for our modern world: radio, television, smartphones and the Internet.
When James Clerk Maxwell was born in 1831, he was an extraordinarily curious child who investigated everything he could find. He grew up in a deeply Christian home and by the age of eight could recite all 176 verses of the 119th Psalm!
When 19 years, Maxwell went to study at Cambridge University. There, he fully committed his life to Christ, and developed solid faith that would pull him through many difficult situations.
Rising rapidly in the science world, in 1856 he was appointed professor at the young age of 25.
About 15 years later, he created the Cavendish Laboratory, an institution that was to acquire a legendary reputation as a centre for physics, generating 30 Nobel prizes.
Maxwell’s personal faith was reflected in the inscription of Psalm 111:2 inscribed on the doors: ‘Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.’
He combined his commitment to the Christian faith with the very highest levels of science. He built his life around a Biblical principles and was stimulated constantly by his faith.
Maxwell connection to divine wisdom and inspiration made him to greatly impact the world.
Indeed through connection to divine wisdom a man becomes a wonder to his world. It is the wisdom of God that makes stars of men.
It has been said that until something changes within you, nothing changes around you.
To go far in life, we need more than common sense, we need extra ordinary sense that comes through divine connection to the God of all wisdom. Just one idea from God is enough to cause your generation to celebrate you. Truly, in the quest for success, wisdom is the principal thing.
Proverbs 4:7 says ‘Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.’
Wisdom controls success and riches. Solomon who was the wisest king also became the richest king in history. Through the display of divine wisdom Joseph was promoted from a slave to the prime minster of Egypt.
However, the wisdom we manifest depends on the level of attention we pay to the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit begins to relate with a man’s spirit, He connects him to the deep things of God, which make him a wonder on the earth.
I Corinthians 2:9-10 says that the spirit of God searches out all things which includes, intellectual things, scientific things, economic things, political things etc
If we must have good success, then we must connect to divine wisdom because it is indispensable. Therefore today, let us make the deliberate decision to seek divine wisdom through a lifestyle of diligent study of God’s Word, fervent prayers, and passionate praise. In all our endeavors we must let God have first place. Truly when we make seeking God our priority then everything else will be added unto us. [Mathew 6:33]
PRAYER: Lord, Please give me the grace to always put You first in my life. Please help me to connect to Your Wisdom, so that Your foreordained plan and purpose for me, can come into full manifestation, in Jesus Name. .
