Devotion Consistently gaining insight and wisdom is an important corporate experience. We can learn from any situation or in any place or from any person at our office, Peter Christopher Raj of Franklin Templeton comments on Proverbs 8.


Consistently gaining insight and wisdom is an important corporate experience. We can learn from any situation or in any place or from any person at our office.  God wants “simple (to) gain prudence (and innocent to) gain understanding”. Whether our words contain “worthy things … what is right … true … just … faultless … (and avoid) wickedness … crooked or perverse (things)”?

“To fear the LORD is to hate evil … pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.” The result is: “counsel and sound judgment … understanding and power … (gaining ability to) reign and make laws that are just … govern, and  … rule on earth … riches and honor, enduring wealth and prosperity … (gaining result that) is better than fine gold … yield surpass(ing) choice silver … favor from the Lord”

Curriculum Vitae of Wisdom: 

§         “The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old (God-ordained importance among others)

§         I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began. (God’s choice, God’s timing, God’s control & security)

§         I was given birth when there were no oceans, springs abounding with water; mountains hills, I the earth or its fields or any of its dust, heavens, depth, clouds fountains of the deep, sea foundations of the earth (Becoming the first among others)

§         Then I was the craftsman at his side (Becoming close, important person to the senior most)§         I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence, rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind (Fulfilled and cheerful life as a continuous daily experience)

§         I walk in the way of righteousness, along the paths of justice (Never found guilty)

§         Bestowing wealth on those who love me and making their treasuries full.” (Being prosperous & source of blessing to others) 

Thus whoever is committed to learn from every experience and to gain insight and wisdom from daily walks of life at office, will receive all the benefits of wisdom, will repeat the same profile, re-experience the above said privileges.

For whoever finds me (wisdom) finds life and receives favor from the LORD. But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death."
