TOPIC: Erasing Struggles By Wisdom (Seeds Of Destiny 13 February 2025)
SCRIPTURE: If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. – Ecclesiastes 10:10.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The absence of wisdom is the presence of struggle.
It is confirmed that the wisdom of God brings peace and pleasantness. No wonder, Proverbs 3:17 says, Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. This means that, in the presence of wisdom, things become peaceful, pleasant, pleasurable, and free from struggles or stress. If I were to summarize the word, ‘pleasantness’ in one word, it would be freedom from struggle. Wisdom not only delivers a person from conflicts but also from unnecessary struggles in life. This implies that when you have wisdom, you do not struggle to achieve desirable results in life. Ecclesiastes 10:10 says: If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. Where wisdom is lacking, strength is dissipated without achieving commensurate results, energy is deployed without corresponding outcomes, and effort is expended with little or no positive effect.
I recently watched a video where an elderly woman was handed a microphone, but she mistakenly placed it in her ear, thinking it was a phone. No matter how much she spoke, no one could hear her, because the wisdom behind using a microphone was absent—it is not meant for the ear. This is a perfect illustration: where wisdom is absent, there is effort without effect. There is input without outcome. There is much stress and much sweat, but very minimal results. Where wisdom is lacking, struggle thrives. The absence of wisdom is the presence of struggle. Without a strategy, you will face endless struggles without results. This applies to every area of life: wherever wisdom is lacking, struggle abounds. I prophesy over you today: May all struggles be over forever in your life in the name of Jesus Christ.
Remember this: The absence of wisdom is the presence of struggle.
