There
are a lot of people who think they know it all. They may be highly educated and
like to flaunt the fact. They may be influential in their community or in their
chosen profession. They may be rich and believe their wealth makes them wiser
and more special than most. And, there are people who think they are wise who
don’t fit into any of the categories above. Regardless, anyone who thinks he is
wise and clever needs to know that pride leads to destruction.
Wisdom
comes from God alone. True wisdom is the right application of God’s Word to
daily living. It is the Spirit of God who makes us wise. He opens our eyes to
see and understand God’s truth and directs us how to live it. Wise is he who
humbly accepts what God teaches him with thanksgiving and thanks living. Wise
is he who is not content with what God has taught him, but seeks to learn more.
Wise is he who understands that he never gets to the point where he can rest in
his knowledge and understanding of Truth. Wise is he who knows who he is in
God’s eyes and not his own.
