Ecclesiastes 2:26 “For to the person who pleases Him God gives WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and heaping up, that he may give to one who pleases God…” [AMP]
WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY should be a part of our lives. They are a signposts to recognize that we are pleasing God. As we obediently pursue Him, study His Word, pray and seek his face He says that He will give to us WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY. These are beautiful belongings to have in our life.
The book of Proverbs speaks about these three essentials:
Proverbs 4:7 WISDOM is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom…
Proverbs 24:5 A wise man is strong; yea, a man of KNOWLEDGE increases strength.
Proverbs 15:23 A man hath JOY by the answer of his mouth…
WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY are not earned, bartered or traded by God. He gives each to individuals that please Him. As an obedient believer the first part of this verse speaks to us. The second part speaks to sinners [ones who do not please God] and their lot in life. The sinner has a much harder life. He will always be gathering, heaping up and struggling in the natural. Our promise here is that God gives all that is gathered and heaped up by sinners to one who pleases Him.
Our future can be guaranteed. We have WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND JOY available to us plus what is being gathered and heaped up elsewhere is coming to us. It is going to find it’s way to us when we please God.
