How Do You Define Wisdom (Lesson 5)



2 Chronicles 20:29-30 NASB
(29)  And the dread of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that the LORD had fought against the enemies of Israel.
(30)  So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was at peace, for his God gave him rest on all sides.

2 Chronicles 20:35-37 NASB
(35)  After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel. He acted wickedly in so doing.
(36)  So he allied himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion-geber.
(37)  Then Eliezer the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat saying, "Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works." So the ships were broken and could not go to Tarshish.

Wisdom is keeping your guard up against unholy distractions. 

It is hard to understand how Jehoshaphat could go right back into an alliance with Ahaziah, Ahab’s son.  It is hard to understand why we do some of the things that get us into trouble.

How do we guard against unholy distractions?

We seek God first He is sure to Bless.

When we run with the world there are consequences to be paid.

This week examine your ties to world in all aspects of your life.

Are there areas where wisdom is needed for improvement?
