You need Prudence

“I wisdom dwell with prudence, …”                  Proverbs 8:12(KJV)

From our opening scripture it is obvious that if you want to be prudent in your life, you need to have wisdom because wisdom dwells with prudence.

This is what you need if you are going to rise to the level of influence that God has prepared for you.  You must walk in wisdom and prudence.

One of the meaning of the word prudence in the Jewish mind is 'ethics.' The word prudence could also refer to discretion. In Proverbs 5:1-2, the Bible says, “My son, attend unto my wisdom, and bow thine ear to my understanding: That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.”

This means that when an individual has wisdom, they have discretion. Therefore, we can define wisdom as discretionary intelligence. So when you have wisdom, you will know the right way to behave wherever you find yourself. This is because true wisdom is always evident in behavior.

Wisdom is the behavioral expression of divine intelligence. In other words, if you have wisdom it would of necessity show in your behavior.

This was evident in the life of David because the Bible says in 1 Samuel 18:5, “And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.”

Therefore David was able to rise to his fullest potential and to the level of influence that God has prepared for him because he functioned in wisdom. You too can do the same only if you choose the way of wisdom.

PRAYER
Dear Father I ask that you give unto me prudence to enable me walk in discretionary and divine intelligence in the conduct of all my affairs for exceptional results and the ability to rise to my fullest potential and all that you have planned for me in Jesus Name. Amen.
