7 Surprising Ways We Walk in Heavenly Wisdom

What if the wisdom God wants us to walk in is unlike anything we ever thought about wisdom? And what if this heavenly wisdom helps us here on earth?

Perhaps like me, you’ve done your own search for sources of earthly wisdom at various stages of life.

Because we find it in many forms: reading, education, online classes, asking experts or family and friends, Google searches and so on.

But gaining knowledge doesn’t always equal wisely applying it to life.

So what does this mean when it comes to heavenly wisdom?

Wisdom from heaven, spiritual wisdom, is also meant to take knowledge and apply it to our life here on earth.

Look at one way the Bible describes it.

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.” James 3:17 (NIV)

Heavenly Wisdom: Pure, Peace-loving, Considerate

(1.) Pure. Heavenly wisdom is first pure. Pure wisdom is untainted by the world’s definitions and standards.

Also, we walk in pure wisdom by applying it to areas of purity: pure heart (Psalm 24:3-4; Psalm 51:10), sexual purity/marriage bed (Hebrews 13:4), pure in thoughts (Philippians 4:8) and a pure path through God’s Word (Psalm 119:9).
