Wisdom of God vs Wisdom of Man II

Welcome brothers and sister to another Bible Teachings, we are continuing with our discussions of wisdom from God and Man. Today we will look deeper into what lives of man will look like compare to God's. But first for those of you starting, this is to point out how Christians, Saints and Believers should behave and understand how God works in our lives and those around us. For who are here first time, this will be offensive to some of you yet if you chose God this must be discussed. For those unprepared for this type of discussion take this time to really think of your life, how you are either a follower of Christ or how you have lived for yourself, even with moral standards still feel uncertain. We will be discussing how Man's life looks for each and everyone of us without God or denying God.

Viewing the world as we see fit

When saying "Lives as we see fit" this is referring to chose our own agendas over God's and worship in our routine. Many times this may lead to ways we never would have expected. For me personally, this was something I had lived for myself and have chose things that many would be disappointed. For one as I got older I had more depression, most of this came because of anger issues. Many of which are issues of me not getting my way in the younger days, when getting older I care less about the world because what I did matter little on the grand scheme of things. Yet in most of my life it was still about me, even after improving much of my life was still just never worth the time or effort, neither were the people as my way meant, "I can beat anyone up and get away with it when angry" I didn't let that go for longest time. Even when in church that didn't change for many years. Now however that change and many things change before and after turning to Lord Jesus. Most I have been reflecting and now move past this train of thought.

I'm not saying this is how many lives are, but for me personally I had this view of life and it only involved what I want is better then anyone. Many of us have to consider if you commit yourself to Christ Jesus or if you have lived outside of Christ and tried to do things your way, how much of your life is what you desire most when placing your views first in life. I can say when placing myself first above everyone that lead me to where I live now and how I have no job. My way got me somewhere I shouldn't have at times, but after much growing up and finally committing to God. Things started to change, much of my view has now been spiritually change from God's view, yet I still have much more to learn from God, his word and those who follow Christ much longer then either of us starting out.

Choices for our own self interest

The most important things to understand is choices both can and cannot determine our lives. Choices through the smallest of actions to what we decide on the more tougher choices. For Lord Jesus, he cares when we take care of the smaller things in life, if we can't do that why should he trust us with the bigger things. When we care more about the bigger things, we tend to lose sight of the smaller things that matter most. For some of us the choices we make are more harder then normal, that's true for others around the world when our lives can be harsher then others. Yet this only shows we need to endure these times and have more faith in our heavenly father and those who are Follower of Christ. Sometimes there are people who can help, and we should consider being both helpful and accepting help in return.

Choices in life is never easy, especially with today's norm saying you can do what you want and it doesn't matter how you chose or what you do. But that's not the case, we should always consider our choices and how they effect everyone around us. Choices have much more impact then we like to admit and we tend to take them for granted. Anyone one of us can think at least one moment where you wish about one choice not worth making or decision that cost you much later in life. Able to chose is one thing we're always capable of doing including now, but how we handle these choices and how we need to either follow through or know when to change our decisions.

Moral belief made from experience

Having experience is not wrong or evil, in fact to build us up is one of the character traits many have learned over ancestors to ancestors of many growing from experience. But that's not always the correct path, for sometimes that growth and experience can lead us down paths darker then anything seen on TV, Life or anything we can imagine. It's through our experience a moral belief is created that is both bad and good, I would say good loosely since there is no guarantee that our version of good will ever be right by God's standards. Sometimes these experience create some people labelled as criminals by society and deeds they committed. The term morality Gray is an paradox itself, because even if you step on both white and black ends at the same time, you will lose sight of what is right and what God had intended for you when your experience and growth covers what you can be in life.

Morally gray beliefs are the greatest hinderance anyone can have because of experience or certain situations. Yet I will not deny that's not understanding, because in truth life, world and reality is complicated because people make it complicated. On personal opinions I don't want to see the complex view of people, I rather be simple about things, yet to extent I can see how complex some people are base on choices we make or how our experience determines our choices. Much of our lives are complicated, yet that only when we make things complicated. For when we need to be simple, we use our own self reasons and beliefs to hide our true intentions or the real reason it's complicated. If anything we need to not rely on our experience and have someone truly teach us the proper ways to live, more so someone that has long experience following Christ.

Lessons learn by the world, life and reality

There are both good and bad lessons that are learned by man. Some of these lessons are made by people of the past long dead and some are lessons made everyday by our decisions or experience. But overall these lessons are what give us growth and able to become the people we either want or something we never expect. There are times however, when following Christ there are lessons that shouldn't have been taught and instead have to relearn the lessons in Godly way through Christ, his word, fellowship of the Church and people. This is hard because of how the lessons stick with us or how they have help in times of our own wants/needs. Some of these lessons we learn quickly that God doesn't approve is lying, breaking promise by making false ones or other sorts you never expected.

For us following Christ, we have to relearn the lessons God wanted us to learn and more so avoid repetitive sin towards something we don't learn from or continually do everyday. Each of us has certain lessons, experience or growth that's both hard or easy in certain situation or circumstance. But when we refuse to learn the lessons from God, we will one point realize why God wanted us to change for the better. Rather we learn them today or sometime later down the line. Each of us has something holding us back or allowing us to push forward.

Daily life through our understanding

All in all our daily life through created wisdom in each and everyone of us as men/women are sometimes our defining trait. They only our defining us when we chose not or chose to change. As Followers of Christ choosing to change through the same ways is how God operates. But on our own we tend to lean on things that will always fail if God is not in our lives. One of these failings is leaning on dead men's knowledge. This being our past history of people who have no God in their lives are wisdom we need to avoid. Some are more damning then others, even one's that wants us to reject God towards the unpardonable sin. Having knowledge is one thing good for our today society, but if used to try living without God will not benefit us or those around us.

Folks take this time to consider what is Godly wisdom and what is Man's wisdom. They maybe confusing at times, but if any wisdom involving yourself in any way sinful, avoid these lessons and learn to have God's wisdom and as your teacher in life. All of us need teachers and only God is our teacher and those followers of Christ.
