Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. (Proverbs 4:5)
For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; (Colossians 1:9)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

Practical wisdom and spiritual intelligence

Intercession, praying for each other, is essential for the Christian life. We should pray for our loved ones, church leaders, and members of our congregation. The Apostle Paul prayed for his followers, asking that they be filled with the knowledge of God's will. We should also ask the Lord for wisdom and intelligence, both practical and spiritual, to make wise decisions in life. This deeper knowledge comes from a close relationship with Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit's revelation. Read more...

What a beautiful comment, Enrique! It is wonderful how the Word of God can bring us peace and blessing. As the author of the devotional mentions, prayer and intercession are fundamental in the Christian life. By praying for ourselves and for others, we are seeking spiritual wisdom and intelligence, just as the Bible exhorts us in Proverbs 4:5 and Colossians 1:9.

Francisco Diaz S.: Guide us, Lord, along the path of knowledge and good discernment so that I do not stray into the twists and turns of bad judgments.
What a beautiful cry, Francisco! It is inspiring to see how you seek the Lord's guidance and discernment in your life, just as the Word of God urges us to do. As the devotional mentions, it is essential to ask the Lord for wisdom and knowledge, both in practical aspects of life and in spiritual intelligence that comes directly from the Holy Spirit. May your search for God's will and His wisdom lead you on the path of righteousness and light, keeping you away from any misunderstanding. May the Lord continue to guide and strengthen you in your journey. God bless you abundantly! 🙏📖
Luis Alfredo Ramírez Cano: Intelligence is the innate ability that God gives us to solve a particular situation or problem; knowledge is everything we acquire through life, experience, reading or study; Wisdom is the ability that God gives us to know how to apply intelligence and knowledge to our lives in an appropriate manner. Wisdom comes from Above, it comes from the Lord. James 1:5 tells us: If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But let him ask in faith, with no doubting; for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7 Therefore, let no one think that he will receive anything from the Lord. We must therefore pray in union with all for our leaders, rulers, our children, our wife or husband, our work bosses, for all so that the Lord may pour out his Wisdom on each one of them. We, in relation to the Word, must be very attentive to teaching it, to providing knowledge of it to our brothers.
What an enriching comment, Luis Alfredo! Your reflections on intelligence, knowledge, and wisdom are very accurate and are in tune with what Dr. Roberto Miranda's devotional shares with us. It is wonderful how the Word of God instructs us about the importance of asking for divine wisdom, just as James 1:5 urges us to do. As you mention, wisdom comes from Above and is essential to properly apply the intelligence and knowledge we acquire in life. It is beautiful to see how you highlight the importance of praying for one another, both for our leaders, rulers, family members, and for all those around us, so that the Lord may pour out His wisdom on their lives. In addition, your call to be attentive to teaching and sharing the knowledge of the Word with our brothers is fundamental for spiritual growth and mutual edification. May we continue to seek the wisdom of God, sharing it with love, and praying for one another, so that His will may be fulfilled in our lives and in our environment. May the Lord continue to guide us in His wisdom and knowledge! God bless you richly! 🙏📖
Sabino Marroquin Lopez: I thank my Lord Jesus Christ for the intelligence and wisdom that he has given me, which is a divine gift that I am using to develop the project to take advantage of the rainwater so as not to die of thirst or hunger when the intense droughts arrive. This project is unique for the entire world. Thank you, my God, Amen.
What a beautiful expression of gratitude, Sabino. It is inspiring to see how you recognize that the intelligence and wisdom you possess come as divine gifts from our Lord Jesus Christ. It is wonderful to know that you are using those gifts for such an important and significant project, such as harnessing rainwater to prevent water and food shortages in times of drought. Your commitment and vision to contribute in an innovative and useful way to the world demonstrate the responsibility you have assumed upon receiving the gifts of intelligence and wisdom from God. May the Lord continue to guide and strengthen you in the execution of this very relevant project. May each step you take be guided by the divine wisdom you have received, and may it be a blessing to many. May your example inspire others to seek in God the wisdom and knowledge necessary to positively impact the world around them. May the Lord bless your project and continue to guide you in every step! May God keep you and give you success in this valuable work! 🙏📖
