The word wisdom in the Bible is the translation of a Hebrew word that means "skill". Applied to God it means that He has the skill necessary to direct us in any and every situation. If you were sick, who would you call, a doctor or an auto mechanic? Of course you'd call a doctor because he would have the skill to help. He would have the tools, the medicine, the equipment needed to make you better. God is the Great Physician. He is Jehovah Rapha, the Healer. He is the skillful Creator who knit you together in your mother's womb, who formed your inward parts. He knows everything about you and has the skill necessary to conceptualize the best possible plan not only for the entire world but also for your life. Solomon tells us, "By wisdom the Lord laid the earth's foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place" (Proverbs 3:19) This being so, we can trust God, knowing that everything that happens to us was thought out by an infinitely wise Person, and all that happens will ultimately be for our good and His glory.
