As seen in this passage, one of the benefits of wisdom is that it also confers prestige on you, thus making people in awe of you. When praying for an understanding heart to enable him to administer true justice to God’s people, Solomon, in his wildest imagination
Another benefit of wisdom, as we can see in our reference passage today, is its ability to shield the one who has it from the corruption of flattery. Wisdom is an effective insulator.
God says you must first treasure wisdom to activate its greatness potential. We know how we seek and handle what we consider articles of great value, the inconveniences we subject ourselves to get them, and how we fawn over them once we lay hold of them, ensuring they are well-maintained and secured
On the safekeeping front, wisdom keeps you from evil. Running your decisions and conduct through the metrics of wisdom will guard you from making the wrong call or going against the grain. Wisdom thus keeps you from danger, humiliation, embarrassment and other undesirable consequences that arise from an error in judgement.
The benefit of wisdom for our meditation today is the pioneer spirit or abilities it avails those who have it. Wisdom helps one to start an entity or pioneer an initiative into a reality that was hitherto nonexistent. Wisdom can make you a pioneer or a founder.
