The word translated "wisdom" above is the

 

Greek "phronesis" and it’s a force that

 

controls you. It’s a spiritual elixir that

 

locates you within the framework of God’s

 

will, beyond your natural understanding,

 

causing you to do God’s things God’s way, in

 

God’s time for God’s purpose! It’s also a

 

mind-set; an excellent mind-set that causes you to think

 

in a certain way and to say the right things in the right

 

way at the right time for the right purpose in the right

 

place.

 

This was the wisdom Solomon received from the Lord

 

that caused him to excel in good judgment, so much so

 

that the Bible says, "…there came of all people to hear

 

the wisdom of Solomon, from all kings of the earth,

 

which had heard of his wisdom" (1Kings 4:34). God gave

 

Solomon an extraordinary amplitude of comprehension;

 

he had practical wisdom.

 

"Phronesis" propels you to make accurate choices, sound

 

judgments and decisions, and to do things right the first

 

time. You can develop "phronesis" through studying and

 

meditating on the Word of God and through praying in

 

the Holy Ghost—speaking in tongues. "O, but I thought

 

the Word says Christ has been made unto us wisdom

 

from God?" you might ask.

 

Yes. But that wisdom is "sophia" (Greek) which means

 

theoretical wisdom, or insight into reality; it means all

 

the collective understanding of all things. There’s also a

 

third kind of wisdom called "sunesis"; this is critical

 

wisdom; the ability to understand concepts and see

 

relationships between them. It suggests a quickness of

 

apprehension; the penetrating consideration which

 

precedes actions. Whereas, "phronesis" is practical

 

wisdom; it’s a force that makes you do and say the right

 

things before you even think.

 

God gives you "sophia"—insight into reality, so that you

 

can have "sunesis"—an understanding, for the purpose

 

of developing in you "phronesis"; a mind-set for a

 

successful and extraordinary life.
