Sabedoria
A sabedoria é um dos temas mais ricos da Bíblia. O temor do Senhor é seu princípio, e buscá-la vale mais que ouro ou prata. Deus promete dar sabedoria generosamente a quem pedir com fé.
O princípio da sabedoria
O temor do Senhor é o início de toda sabedoria verdadeira. Quem reverencia a Deus aprende a viver com discernimento e prudência.
Sabedoria como dom de Deus
A verdadeira sabedoria vem do alto. Deus a concede generosamente a quem pede com fé, sem lançar em rosto a fraqueza humana.

A sabedoria do alto
A sabedoria que vem de Deus é pura, pacífica, amável, cheia de misericórdia e de bons frutos. Ela se opõe à sabedoria terrena e mundana.

13 Who is wise and intelligent among you? let him show out of the good behaviour his works in meekness of wisdom,
6 And wisdom we speak among the perfect, and wisdom not of this age, nor of the rulers of this age -- of those becoming useless,7 but we speak the hidden wisdom of God in a secret, that God foreordained before the ages to our glory,
23 also we -- we preach Christ crucified, to Jews, indeed, a stumbling-block, and to Greeks foolishness,24 and to those called -- both Jews and Greeks -- Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God,25 because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men;
18 Let no one deceive himself; if any one does seem to be wise among you in this age -- let him become a fool, that he may become wise,

2 that their hearts may be comforted, being united in love, and to all riches of the full assurance of the understanding, to the full knowledge of the secret of the God and Father, and of the Christ,3 in whom are all the treasures of the wisdom and the knowledge hid,
Direção e discernimento
Deus guia os humildes na justiça e ensina seu caminho aos mansos. Ele promete dirigir nossos passos quando confiamos nele de todo o coração.
A Palavra como fonte de sabedoria
A Palavra de Deus é lâmpada para os pés e luz para o caminho. Meditar nas Escrituras nos dá entendimento superior ao dos mestres.
16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing each other, in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, in grace singing in your hearts to the Lord;

O valor da sabedoria
A sabedoria é mais preciosa que rubis. Quem a encontra, encontra a vida e alcança o favor do Senhor. Nada se compara a ela.
A sabedoria e a soberania de Deus
Os caminhos de Deus são mais altos que os nossos. Sua sabedoria é insondável, eterna e infinitamente superior ao entendimento humano.

28 And we have known that to those loving God all things do work together for good, to those who are called according to purpose;
20 and to Him who is able above all things to do exceeding abundantly super abundantly what we ask or think, according to the power that is working in us,21 to Him is the glory in the assembly in Christ Jesus, to all the generations of the age of the ages. Amen.
1 This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;
5 and you have forgotten the exhortation that does speak fully with you as with sons, 'My son, be not despising chastening of the Lord, nor be faint, being reproved by Him,6 for whom the Lord does love He does chasten, and He scourges every son whom He receives;'
