The Importance of Wisdom

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Proverbs 1:7

The question is, ‘Why is wisdom so important?’
Because. . .
1. Wisdom is the ability to see life from God’s perspective.
2. Wisdom is the ability to use facts and knowledge to come to correct conclusions.
3. Wisdom is seeing how God’s principles are universal and non-optional, and how every civilization and individual has and will succeed or fail in direct relationship to how they follow them.
4. Wisdom gives us the ability to see and understand how human nature is directly opposed to God’s nature.
5. Wisdom is the ability to see how our natural inclinations are directly contrary to God’s principle of life.
For example, look where we are right now in our culture, we have taught our children so long that evolution is a fact, that they no longer see the facts that stand against it. Instead they have believed a lie. Our philosophy is’ eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.’
California Proposition # 8 would never have been on a ballot twenty-five years ago, and yet here we are, about to vote on a definition of marriage that God has already given us.

What America needs right now is a good dose of Holiness.
