Ecclesiastes 8: 1 “Who
is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? a man's
wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.”
"Who is as the wise man? Who knoweth the
interpretation of a thing? One who has the spirit of wisdom knows how to
interpret a thing. The Spirit of Wisdom teaches one to know the interpretation
of a thing; this was the anointing upon king Solomon. This anointing opens shut
doors (prisons); bondages whose origins are hidden and unknown are revealed by
wisdom. Also, the end of the choices one makes is understood by wisdom and also what
is the right thing to do in a given situation, these come from wisdom. Wisdom
can help shave off years of groping in darkness for answers. One can be bound
in some area of their life and never know why but one with this anointing of
wisdom can give a single word and open the eyes of those who will hear by giving
the cause of the trouble. This may either deliver them immediately or set them
on a path of prayer and seeking that will bring the ultimate deliverance.
"...a
man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be
changed."
Once one has received wise counsel through this gift the response many times is
one of joy because of the release wisdom brings (for those who have an ear to
discern it). A good example of this gift in operation would be when Jesus spoke
to the woman at the well. She felt she could be fulfilled in relationships but
it always eluded her (evidenced by her continual seeking it with another
relationship). However, once the Master interpreted her life by the word of
wisdom (that her real need was for the living water and not relationships) she
was filled with joy and elation and went about telling her friends.
Many times I remember
being in anxiety and frustration only to have word of wisdom from the Lord
either by a brother or sister or even a word to my own heart. And O’ the joy
and release that word brought as it set my mind to understand wisdom from Gods vantage
point, what release and what freedom wisdom can be…from perplexity to peace
with one word of wisdom!
