WISDOM – THE KEY TO DISCERNING TIMES AND SEASONS

Jul 1, 2025

Ecclesiastes 3:1 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven.

As a believer, it is very important to understand the seasons of your life and God’s timing so that you connect with what He is doing. If you are out of alignment with divine timing, you will either experience delay in your life or come before your time, giving the enemy room to take you out.

God is Lord and King; we can not command Him, we follow Him. We must understand and ask the Holy Spirit to help us discern the seasons of our lives. (1 Kings 3:7-9)

Ecclesiastes 8:1 Who is like a wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, And the sternness of his face is changed.

For each one of us, there is a time God has ordained for certain things to happen in our lives. However, it takes wisdom for us to interpret these seasons and times. If there has ever been a season in our lives when we need to know this, it is now.

Knowledge is not enough; you need to know how that knowledge works, for you to discern your moment. This is why the scripture says; Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. (Proverbs 4:7)

2 Peter 1:3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.

Everything you need to live a successful life here on earth has already been bestowed within you. This knowing and understanding are embedded in your spirit. However, wisdom is so precious that if you do not cry, hunger, thirst, and go after it, it doesn’t show up. (Proverbs 1:20)

I pray that we cry to God to help us understand clearly what to do, where to be and how to operate whatsoever the Lord has placed in our care.

Ephesians 5:15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise.

You will become a victim of evil people if you just live your life anyhow. If you do not have discernment, which is the function of wisdom, people will manipulate you. Then you will find yourself in places you should not have been, not because there is a strong devil but because you lack wisdom and understanding.

Let us engage God to help us and flood our hearts with His light, wisdom and understanding, so we know how to discern times and seasons like the sons of Issachar. (1 Chronicles 12:32)

What distinguishes your life is not hard work, but the wisdom of God, which is personified in Jesus. May the Lord open our eyes to see like He sees and free us from living like mere men. (Mark 6:2)
