Wisdom of God vs Wisdom of Man
Welcome Brothers and Sisters to another Bible Teachings, today we will be diving deep into wisdom and how they are used in our everyday life. First we need to establish what is Wisdom and why it's important. Then compare the difference between the two, while they may appear similar in wisdom. It's only because we don't have God's wisdom in us and things he hates most is sin and anything that isn't holy.
What is Wisdom and why it's important?
First we must start with Wisdom, as what does it mean for each of us and how it's used in our everyday life. Many can be considered smart as being wise, but that isn't the case for Wisdom. For being smart just means your good at something and have more knowledge on things of certain field. Yet many tend to mistake being smart as being wise for everyone. You could probably go to some book store and you would find many books about life problems or experience from others. While this can be good for some parts of life, it's not 100 percent correct. For when comparing God's wisdom to man's wisdom, they are both completely different. If your familiar with the Bible or for those that aren't many times we are told by Old and New Testament that what God has in store for us is never what we want or need from God.
Even those of faith have done things outside of God's plan and life for us. For Moses, he tried to free his people by killing the Egyptians, as result he was sent into the wilderness for many years before he returned to free his people through God's way. In cases of David, he became tempted by someone's else wife when he saw her naked by accident, then when he had her husband killed by the battle trying to cover up his past deeds, he lost much in his life more so a child, when he had this affair. There are more examples of many times when we had not only made mistakes, but also believed ourselves to be wise. When we believe we're wise by our own eyes because of how smart we become, we're then made foolish because of our pride and boasted in our abilities. The greatest Wisdom is always and will be forever from God and when we seek his wisdom, many times we are shown our sinful life and we continually pray for correction and seek his guidance through his Holy Words from the Bible and those who are experience in faith.
Now you would ask yourself "Why do I need wisdom, when I have learned much of this world?" is what many would asked yourself. To answer this question, you need to also asked yourself, is your wisdom base on experience and what you learned from people and education? If so then you need to asked, is this how God wanted us to learn and grow, or is this from the Devil as he is ruler of this world. God has stated before that many of his people are destroyed because of our lack in wisdom. This clearly means that when we learn something from this world, we need to be certain or ask for advise if this is what we should do, learn or behave?
The world we live is not what God had intended, this is more the result of how we as people chose to live without God. When trying to live with our strength in anything or faith in anything not from God, we will always fail and will never succeed in things. While we can succeed in this world, it's only choosing to love this world is how we will be pre-destine for Hell and eternal death for ourselves. Folks we need to consider the knowledge we learn and how are we truly wise because of God or because of ourselves. If we're wise in our own ways, I can only pray you don't appear wise by your own sight. Proverbs 3:7 says, "Do not be wise by your sight, fear the Lord and shun evil." Basically don't think you are wise by your own ways and trust in the Lord, fleeing from evil in your sight. It sounds simple, but at the same time impossible without God's guidance. Next time we will be discussing about the different life style of God's Wisdom and Men's wisdom.
