🔸️ 7 Pillars of Wisdom! 🔸️
We read in Proverbs 8:1,27 that the bridegroom was called as "wise." Similarly, we read in Proverbs 9:1 that the bride is also called as "wise." Because, this bride changed herself parallel to her bridegroom in every way! Looking at the characteristics of wisdom, we can easily find out "who is the Bride of Christ?"
1. Holiness:
This is the most important "first pillar" for the Bride of Christ! This holiness is not a pillar that shows only the outer holiness and the 'empty cage' inside! Not at all like that!! On the contrary, holiness is the pillar that is "strong and solid" from the top of the pillar to its base!
2. Peace:
Justice and peace always go in parallel! Yes, these are twins!! Kingdom of God is righteousness and peace!!(Romans 14:17). True wisdom is never argumentative or contentious! It doesn’t go ahead to fight! It always seeks cordial relationship 'as much as possible' with everyone!
3. Caring with meekness:
The Bride of Christ always have good characters such as...doing good, kind with others, gentle, patient, tolerant and showing respect to others!
4. Desiring to comply with:
Willing to accept the warning and admonition and comply with it.
5. Abundant mercy and its virtues:
The Bride of Christ will always be filled with compassion, not with the occasional pity! It is not difficult for the Bride of Christ to forgive anyone unconditionally, joyfully, and wholeheartedly!
6. Unchanging assurance forever:
He who lives in the sight of God, will be firm in the truth that he has learned!
7. No hypocritical quality:
This wise Bride will have more spiritual treasures in her invisible "inside" than the visible outside!
If we have the longing, we too can find for sure these 7 characteristics of Wisdom!!
Prayer:
Our heavenly Father! As like our Bridegroom who is filled with full of Wisdom, we, as His Bride, need your grace to shine in these seven Divine aspects of Wisdom! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
