Life: The Wisdom, The Tests, The Triumph




Wisdom is a requirement to making the most of life.
This is why the good Book informs us "wisdom is the principal thing, and with all our getting we should get understanding"

With life comes tests.
Life has a way of testing us.
Tests we must pass.
Tests we do not often understand when we are going through them.
Tests that make sense to us after we have passed them.
We pass them by going through them.
To go through them and emerge better after the tests is to overcome them.
It is through wisdom we overcome the tests of life.

These tests come in the form of challenges.
Challenges can come to us because we are wise.
Challenges can come to us because we are chosen.
Challenges can come to us because we are called to greater things.

King Solomon faced tests from the queen of Sheba.
The Queen of Sheba was famed to be a wealthy woman.
She was a legendary African monarch who had heard the fame of Solomon's wisdom and wealth.
Intrigued, she journeyed with an entourage of camels carrying lots of gifts to where king Solomon was; to see and confirm the legend of Solomon.

It's not only material rewards the queen of Sheba came with, she came with hard questions for the king.
The wisdom God put in Solomon answered all her questions satisfactorily.
She saw and found in the king and his kingdom more than she had heard, thought and imagined.

Wisdom always finds solutions.
Wisdom from God usually exceeds the thoughts and expectations of men.
Solomon triumphed over the hard questions of the queen of Sheba.
The queen of Sheba's hard questions represent life's questions, life's toughness, life's challenges.
Through wisdom we overcome, we triumph and we breakthrough!

When we pass the test, we move to the next level in life and in destiny.
Wisdom is a prerequisite in life.
Fortunately God is willing to give it to as many as ask Him for it.
There are things we are meant to discover as we journey through life.
There are things God wants us to find out through Him.

Life's journey requires making discoveries, these discoveries demand wisdom. We need wisdom for life's journey.

There will be situations confronting us in this world that may seem hard.

They are life's tough questions, they are life's difficult questions, they are life's hard questions.

Jesus faced a number of such questions while He walked the earth in human form. He knew challenging situations, He was also confronted directly with hard and tricky questions at times.

The Pharisees and Sadducees tried nailing Him with hard questions whenever the opportunity presented itself.

There were questions meant to corner Him, discredit Him, and embarrass Him which He scaled through with the wisdom of God.

These hard questions of life are not only the questions we may be asked by people who do not mean well for us, but they are also the challenges, difficulties, and storms we face in this world.

They stare at us, confront us, and are to be figured out. They are questions of life and require wisdom to answer/solve them.

They are not meant to break us, defeat us, overcome, or overwhelm us but they are meant to be overcome and solved.

They are necessary for us to rise to our next level.

They help bring out our strength and innate abilities and talents.

Wisdom finds solutions to life's issues.

Wisdom finds answers to life's puzzles.

Wisdom provides the answers to life's questions.

Wisdom enhances our lives and makes us a problem solver on the earth.

Jesus always had the right answer His rivals, critics, and detractors could not gainsay or resist.

King Solomon was tested by the Queen of Sheba with hard questions and Solomon answered her satisfactorily with wisdom beyond what she had heard of.

The tough questions of life are to test the wisdom of God within you.

They are opportunities to use your God-given wisdom.

You have wisdom within you if you are a follower of Jesus Christ.

Jesus has been made to us wisdom and righteousness.

Since you have wisdom within you, the world will present you with some difficult, hard, and tough 'questions'

These 'questions' come in the form of tough circumstances, hard situations, and issues that need to be sorted.

God wants to be glorified through us.

When we apply ourselves to life with divine wisdom we answer the world's questions with flying colors.

As Jesus had answers to life's questions as they came to Him, God wants us having answers too.

As Solomon the king had answers to all the Queen of Sheba's tough questions, so should you have answers to the questions of life that come to you.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of wisdom and He is with the believer.

The gift of wisdom is available through the Spirit.
