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.

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.

Bad things happen to good people; that’s the fact of life; and you have to embrace it. Sometimes when something bad happens to someone, the first question folks will ask is, what wrong did he do? The fact that you are good does not mean the devil will leave you alone.
From our theme scripture, we are told of the story of king Jehoshaphat. In my estimation, king Jehoshaphat is one of the finest kings of Judah, after David. He was not only a good man but a godly man. He was a man that feared God. He was a true leader who turned Judah’s heart back to their God. He instructed the Levites everywhere to teach God’s people the laws of God. He was a king who enquired from God.
