| Wisdom |
| “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” (James 1:5). |
| Modern man is well described as those who are “ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7). The simple reason for this is that he is looking for wisdom and understanding in the wrong places. Searching through his own intellect without the knowledge of the true God, refusing to own His claims, and rejecting His living Word. As a result man is left with human reasoning and a false sense of wisdom and understanding. Someone has well said, “We have education without truth.” “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Corinthians 3:19). |
| Job wanted the true source of both wisdom and understanding, and raised the question, “Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding” (Job 28:20)? A moment later he answers the question by saying, “Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding” (verse 28). Do you, like Job, have that same desire? |
