Competence and the Bible

Competence is a result of continuous study or training of a certain area of knowledge or a skill. Most sources of inspiration nowadays would boost your confidence, would build your character- but they won’t give you the skill, the competence for your job.

How does the bible sees competence? Let us look at one king whom God chose to do His works. Let us see how he regarded competence.

King Solomon was known to be the wisest king of all times, he valued wisdom so much. He wrote most of the book of Proverbs. One of the things he wrote is: The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge; the ears of the wise seek it out. [Proverbs 18:15, NIV]

It tells us how Solomon values continuously seeking knowledge so much- and indeed it showed throughout his life. He was admired by foreign leaders, He was chosen by God to build His temple, and through him, many more of God’s work was accomplished.

He realized early on, that if God called him to lead the people of Israel (note: Calling), he will definitely need the proper competence to do this task: “Now, LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. [1 Kings 3:7-8]

Not just a clear calling and a good character, he knew what he needed, competence! This competence led him to be a confident leader able to perform what was required of him and more.

He also knew whom to ask for help to gain competence. Inasmuch as books and experience are great sources of knowledge and skill, the bible tells us that only God is our source of knowledge, Solomon asked God: So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong.  For who is able to govern this great people of yours?” [1 Kings 3:9, NIV] and James confirmed this by writing: If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. [James 1:5. NIV]

The bible has always directly and indirectly stated that we have to seek excellence in everything that we do, and we can only do it if we possess the proper competence to do our job and do it best.5
