The Source of True Wisdom

in #religion7 years ago

Jeremiah 8:9

9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and
taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord;
and what wisdom is in them?

Solomon, the man the Bible calls the wisest person who ever lived (1 Kings 4:30), wrote: "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" (Proverbs 9:10).

If you were to turn Solomon's words around, you'd have an apt word picture of the people of the Southern Kingdom of Judah in the days of the prophet Jeremiah. God had put up with these people for many years, and He had spoken to them through His prophets of their need to turn away from their wicked deeds. Yet they refused to listen and act on His words, trusting in their own wisdom and in the deceitful words of false teachers.

Today, those who follow Jesus Christ need godly wisdom to navigate through a world that has its own brand of wisdom - one that seems to change almost daily. God calls His people to live in the wisdom He has provided through His written Word. Not only that, He promises to freely give us wisdom if we simply ask for it: "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).

That's a beautiful promise we should daily claim as our own.

Truly, wisdom isn't right insight but scriptural insight because.......... "there is a way which seemeth right to a man but the end thereof are the ways of death". Proverbs 14:12

'Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding'. Proverbs 3:13

So it is brotherhood, we as Christians should ask God for wisdom that he will give us abundantly, equally fear the Lord and we will always be under his will. Let us always be in contact with the Lord, praying and asking for a spirit of wisdom and revelation, as expressed in Ephesians 1:17:

so that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.

Thanks for sharing sharing this. It's wonderful to be reminded that true wisdom comes from God: he is the author of life and of every created things. Truly in him is all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

smart words

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."

This scripture really captions my heart if the wisest man Solomon can acknowledge it. I petty those without the fear of God.

Amen thanks JESUS CHRIST

thanks for the insight

Today, those who follow Jesus Christ need godly wisdom to navigate through a world that has its own brand of wisdom - one that seems to change almost daily

Amen this is true man of God. May God have mercy upon us through his spirit by continuing guiding us through on how we should go. May The wisdom of God operate in me at all times as i journey through this earthly life.

Thanks so much @deathlyhorror for sharing.

very important wisdom that my country needs today, God give wisdom in all my Venezuelan brothers

Proverbs 2: 6-7
6 For Jehovah gives wisdom,
And from his mouth comes knowledge and intelligence.

7 He provides wisdom to the upright;
It is a shield to those who walk uprightly.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding" (Proverbs 9:10).Truly speaking @deathlyhorror :

wisdom comes from God alone and it has the ability to guide, direct, govern, etc. Every decision of wisdom is correct and that is were wisdom is different from sense.

"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).
My country needs to ask God wisdom bcoz they lacks it

God is the Source of true wisdom

Interesting and important stotya. Thank you

Thank God for men like you who carry the banner the word of eternal life @deathlyhorror

It's a great consolation quietness of heart and peace to have the lord Jesus as our wisdom.

1 cor 1: 30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:.

First Corinthians 2: 7 says, "But we speak the wisdom of God in mystery, the hidden wisdom, which God predestined before the ages to our glory." The Greek word translated "mystery" does not refer to something strange or disconcerting; it is a technical term for the kind of truth that man had not previously known but which has now been revealed. The truth of God saves sinners through the substitutionary sacrifice of His Son, which is made clear to all

Great article about religion... Nice explanation bro @deathlyhorror..

Amen. We need the wisdom of God. Even the wisdom of the whole world put together cannot be matched with the wisdom of God and we all have to seek it with obedience

Amen. The wisdom of the world does not compare to God's perfect all knowing wisdom.
