지혜와 명철(잠16:16)

5월 열 여섯 번 째날 잠언

 지혜(wisdom)를 얻는 것이 금을 얻는 것보다 얼마나 더 나은가! 명철(understanding)을 얻는 것이 오히려 은을 택하는 것보다 더 낫도다!(잠16:16)

♡♡♡ {주}께서 지혜로 땅의 기초를 놓으셨으며 명철로 하늘들을 굳게 세우셨죠.(잠 3:19) 지혜의 시작은 {주}를 두려워하는 것이고, 거룩한 것의 지식이 명철이죠.(잠9:10) 지혜를 찾는 자와 명철을 얻는 자는 행복하죠.(잠3:13)
  옳고 그름을 분별할 줄 아는 능력(power)인 지혜(wisdom)와 지혜를 실행하는 능력(power)인 명철(understanding)은 거의 함께 언급되죠. 올바른 것을 바르게 분별할 줄 알고, 올바른 것이 바르게 사용되어야만 하니까요.

  “지혜(wisdom)가 네 마음에 들어가며 지식이 네 혼에게 기쁨이 될 때에는 분별이 너를 보존하며 명철(understanding)이 너를 보호하여 악한 자의 길과 비뚤어진 것들을 말하는 자에게서 너를 건져 내리라.(잠2:10-12)”

  루비보다 더 값지고 귀하고 좋은 지혜(wisdom)는 사람이 원하는 모든 것과 비교될 수 없죠.(욥28:18, 잠3:15, 8:11)
  십자가에 못 박히신 그리스도는 [하나님]의 권능이시요 [하나님]의 지혜이시죠.(고전1:23-24)

  [하나님]의 권능과 [하나님]의 지혜를 얻은 형제자매들 모두는 올바른 것을 바르게 사용하고 입증하는 명철한 형제자매들로 주님께 발견되시기를!!! ♡♡♡
