UV 254-10,000 Do you want to be wiser than Solomon?

Uni-verse 254/10,000 For better through verse Psalms 119 v 98
Psa 119:98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.


When we love the Word of God more than anything else in the world, more than the gold and silver or all the money in it, then the Word of God will dwell in us. The Psalmist writes that it will make us wiser than our enemies, wiser than our teachers and wiser than the elders and even ancients. David was found to be wiser for this reason than all the other captains and soldiers when he served in Saul's army. Daniel and his three friends were found wiser than all the other teachers in Babylon for this reason.

Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived till then. Today, every believer whose holy obsession is the Word of God is wiser than Solomon. Jesus declared that the lily of the valley was more splendid than Solomon in all his glory. Do we realize that we are more wise than Solomon as the Word of Christ dwells richly in us as we teach and admonish one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs sung with grace in our hearts to the Lord.

Once in a time of prayer, the Holy Spirit revealed that " just as leeches are repelled from attacking us when we apply salt on our bodies, when we apply the Word of God on our bodies, our enemies will be repelled by the salt." The Word of God is the heavenly storehouse from which teachers can draw treasure according to the need of the hour. If we truly love the Word above fine gold or 24 carat gold, we will store it in our hearts to use 24x7. We will meditate on it all day and all night. The Word will flow as a constant stream watering our thoughts in our concsiousness and our subconscious minds. It is the source of our strength and power. The Word is versatile- it is spiritual food or nourishment for the spiritually hungry and thirsty. It is a shield of faith. It is a sword. It is an insurance policy. It is salt to repel the leeches. It is the life-giving breath of God that resuscitates us. As for me, I would have perished in my afflictions but for my love for the Word.

Prateep V Philip
