SCRIPTURE:

but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: (1 Corinthians 2:7)

DEVOTIONAL:

God’s plan is a mystery! The devil didn’t know what Jesus was doing because satan, who was once Lucifer, who covered the Throne of God had lost his anointing for wisdom. The rulers of this world were blinded and didn’t understand that Jesus is the Messiah called by God to save them. 

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: but we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Corinthians 2:6–8 Emphasis mine

Understand, you can ask God for wisdom, but you must ask in faith and set aside all fear and doubt. He will give you the answers you need if you do not waver in your faith, believing one thing one day and something else the next. (See James 1:5-8.)

PRAYER:

Dear God, thank you that Your wisdom has been hidden from the world. I ask in faith for Your wisdom and will not doubt or fear or be double minded. I receive Your wisdom for my situation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
