In Ecclesiastes, chapter one, verses twelve through eighteen, humans cannot find purpose in life in and by themselves, nor can they use their own human achievement to set right all that appears wrong in the world, as in verse fifteen. “That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.” The solution requires something greater than human wisdom, philosophy, or ideas. That wisdom is “from above” as in James three, verse seventeen, “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated ( Intreated means to beg or pray earnestly, while entreat means to deal with or treat someone), full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” First Corinthians two, verse seven, relates to the previous verse, “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory.”
For believers who desire wisdom, let them ask of God, as in James one, verse five through seven, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.”
God knows the heart of each person, their ways, and their intentions. He would not grant it to those who have no motive to do His will. The central part of Luke twelve, verse forty-eight, declares. “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.” The wisdom of God is far above the knowledge of man.
