True Wisdom

True wisdom only comes from God.  Wisdom of man, even from the best minds we can find, is weak, untrustworthy.  We read about this in 1 Corinthians 1: "Where is the wise?  Where is the scribe?  Where is the disputer of this age?  Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? ....For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.  Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men...."

We all know that God is wiser than man; and we know that there really is no comparison since He is the creator and we are the creature.  Let's look at a few passages in the Bible that demonstrate the wisdom of our Creator.

Proverbs 1:7  "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."

Proverbs 2:6  "For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk uprightly..."

Prov. 23:15  "My son, if your heart is wise, my heart will rejoice--indeed, I myself; yes, my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak right things.  Do not let your heart envy sinners, but be zealous for the fear of the Lord all the day; for surely there is a hereafter, and your hope will not be cut off.  Hear, my son, and be wise..."

Proverbs, as well as many of the teachings of the Bible, are full of wisdom...and it is wisdom from God, Himself.  Let us heed the great teaching of our God!
