The Wisdom of God
Thou, O Christ, who wert tempted in all points like as we are, yet without sin, make us strong to overcome the desire to be wise and to be reputed wise by others ignorant as ourselves. We turn from our wisdom as well as from our folly and flee to Thee, the wisdom of God and the power of God. Amen.
”Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever,” cried Daniel the prophet, “for wisdom
and might are his:
. . . he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:
he revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the
light dwelleth with him.” The believing man responds to this, and to the angelic chant,
“Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might,
be unto our God for ever and ever.” It never occurs to such a man that God should
furnish proof of His wisdom or His power. Is it not enough that He is God?
Psalm 111-10: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom;A good understanding have all those who do his commandments;His praise endures forever.
