WISDOM OR FOLLY
Prov 14:33
33 Wisdom reposes in the heart of the discerning
and even among fools she lets herself be known.
NIV
Another distinguishing factor between two types of people, but do they share wisdom? The person with discernment or understanding has wisdom residing, reposing within their heart. It is a still and quite wisdom knowing the truth of God. It is a wisdom which brings a calm serenity to the spirit, being sure of the truth, knowing the Word of God. This wisdom is express in the peace with which this individual of wisdom lives. The one with a heart of understanding uses his words to encourage and lift others up. Wisdom also reveals the folly of the foolish. It is obvious what true wisdom is when a one who has been deemed by God to be a fool speaks of things which have no meaning, which lack the truth of his word. Truly it is only the person with wisdom and understanding who knows the Word of God to be the truth of life. Those who are fools reject pure truth for the folly of this worlds wisdom. If the wisdom of this world were so great, it would have discovered the solution to eternal life. No matter how much worldly knowledge is learned or uncovered, it still leads to death. How foolish is that? Whatever is said to prove the intellectual prowess of an individual, if it refutes the existence of God, his plan for the salvation of man, it only proves instead the foolishness of that person. Wisdom lets herself known in those foolish words of self-edification. It is far better to know the real truth than to try to prove you know some truth. The heart in which true wisdom resides knows peace, the heart without it endeavors to find peace somewhere else, but it eludes this heart. Choose wisely who you will serve, wisdom or folly. Maybe it is only those with true wisdom, true understanding, true intelligence that can even chose.
