Wisdom The Principal Thing.
Mark 7:25-30
Oh, what a soul. The Syrophoenician woman is the kind of wife every man should look out for. I'm not about to dish out anything about marriage nor relationship.
After studying the Gospel of Mark, the Lord opened my eyes to see chapter 7 and verses 25-30 in such a way that struck me and i am about to share with you the striking thing.
Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
I pondered on this scripture for a while, though it was ringing in my spirit. WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL THING. After a while my teacher the Holy Spirit began to teach me exactly what happened at the scene in Tyre and Sidon between Jesus and the wise woman. Jesus was astound, impressed by the saying or wisdom of the woman, remember, she needed help and her wise words left her helper (Jesus) with no other option than to instantly help her (Ecclesiastes 8:1). The only phrase that was not used for the woman as well was "What Manner of Woman Is This", that her wisdom impressed the son of God so much.
The striking thing was that, the woman was WISE and HUMBLE, even to the lines of her words.
One thing I am sure can draw men to us is our wise words. In the case of the woman, her wise and humble reply drew Jesus' attention, the Message Bible said, "Jesus was impressed..." Even if Jesus had not wanted to do anything instantly, meekness and wisdom was seen in her words which triggered the supernatural. Jesus said wait for your turn but the woman had a good reason with her wise words, yes Lord, even if it is still small I'll yet partake of it (my emphasis). Wisdom directed her and she understood perfectly that wisdom is the key.
It will be really great what God will do with our lives, may we submit to Him continually.
Ecclesiastes 10:10 ...but wisdom is profitable to direct.
With the wisdom and meekness of this woman, believers should now know the importance of being wise and humble in dealing with God and men. It fast tracks our opportunities in getting what we want.
And I pray, may God grant and give us wisdom from above, in Jesus name Amen.
Proverbs 4:5, 7, 19:8, Ecclesiastes 10:10
