God delights to impart wisdom to others. He gave
wisdom to craftsmen of Israel for fashioning the tabernacle and the priests’
garments (Exod. 28:1-6; 31;1-6). He gave to Solomon "a wise and an
understanding heart" (1 Ki. 3:12). The Lord promised to give His disciples
"a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to …
resist" (Luke 21:12-15); this was later borne out in Stephen when those
who disputed with him "were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit
by which he spoke" (Acts 6:9,10).

God does not automatically impart wisdom to all
believers. He wants us to ask for it just as Solomon of old asked for it (1 Ki.
3:5-13). Solomon, in turn, urged his children to "get wisdom," for
"wisdom is the principal thing" (Prov. 4:5-7). The apostle Paul
exhorted the Ephesians to be "as wise, redeeming the time" (Eph.
5:15,16). And the apostle James exhorted, "If any of you lack wisdom, let
him ask of God" (Jas. 1:5). God imparts this wisdom through "the holy
Scriptures, that are able to make you wise" (2 Tim. 3:15; see also Col.
3:16).
