THE TWO HANDS OF WISDOM

Proverbs 3:13‭, ‬16 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. 16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour.‬

Wisdom is awesome. Scripture says, it is the principal thing (Proverbs 4:7). Which means wisdom is number one and the most important thing in life. It is the element required for a successful life in Christ. If you lack it you are sunk. Wisdom is more important than riches and honour and fame. Wisdom gives discretion and delivers sound counsel to the man who has it. Unfortunately, many of God’s folks lack wisdom hence their unnecessary suffering.

From our opening scripture, we are told wisdom has two hands. This is vital. You have to get the message here. The left hand has riches and honour while the right hand has length of days. Right hand is always the place of power, honour and dignity; it is the place that has the priority. Jesus is seated on the right hand of the Father. Scripture says, a thousand will fall at your side but ten thousand on your right hand. The right hand is ten times greater than the left hand.

Thus we see that long life is better than riches and honour because long life is on the right hand of wisdom. Unfortunately, the man who wrote this scripture did not live long nor end well. This man however, was tagged as the wisest man in the world. King Solomon had great riches and honour more than any king that lived, before and after him. Apart from Jesus, Solomon is the wisest man that has lived on earth.

The man who built a temple for God started building temples for demons. He lost the godly reverence of God which is the principal dimension of wisdom; and went away from the way of wisdom. Without wisdom you will not Iive long. Wisdom is a defence; wisdom will preserve you. If you engage in the wrong way of life, you may die before your time. And if you are not wise in financial matters you will be liquidated. You need the two hands of wisdom, long life and riches and honour.

The word of God is the wisdom of God. Feed on the many sidedness of God’s wisdom. Also, ask God for wisdom for practical living. This is what we call prudence. Wisdom will tell how to appropriate your time and your resources for maximum productivity. Praise God!
