“One who is wise
can go up against the city of the mighty and pull down the stronghold in which
they trust” (Proverbs 21:22, NIV). With wisdom I face someone with great power,
and take down the stronghold, the false belief, or the lie in which he has
placed his trust.
“The wise
conquer the city of the strong and level the fortress in which they trust”
(Proverbs 21:22, NLT). Wisdom reveals the weakness in the fortress (stronghold),
and destroys any trust that has been placed in it.
“One sage (wise
person) entered a whole city of armed soldiers—their trusted defenses fell to
pieces” (Proverbs 21:22, MSG). Wisdom reveals the false belief, stronghold,or
lie on which someone has built his life. It reveals the weakness of that trusted
defense and brings down the lie.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you
should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will
be given to you” (James 1:5, NIV). With God's wisdom you know the weakness in an
enemy that comes against you. With His wisdom you understand just how to use
that weakness to defeat your enemy. With His wisdom you have the ability to
understand the reason for a trial or problem that has come into your life. With
His wisdom you understand what you can do to change some of the circumstances
and trust Him to take care of the rest. With His wisdom you know what you need
to change about yourself. With His wisdom you have the potential to recognize
lies in which you or others have placed trust. With His wisdom you can carefully
address those lies and impart hope. With God's wisdom the control of what has
defeated me is broken, and I am free.
“Blessed are
those who find wisdom, those who gain understanding, for she is more profitable
than silver and yields better returns than gold” (Proverbs 3:13-14, NIV).
Lord, help me to seek your wisdom to defeat lies
in my own life and to help bring down the lies in which someone else has placed
their trust. Help me to see potential when someone cannot see it in their own
life. Help me to impart new vision. Help me to face whatever enemy comes against
me wisely and carefully. Help me to know the one weakness that can change
everything....and bring your strength to conquer.
