The call of wisdom

[TonyM13]

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."
(Proverbs 1:7 NKJV)
Many people believe that wisdom can only be found in self-help books, but the Bible is clear that true wisdom comes from God alone.

What do you think?

In Proverbs 'Lady Wisdom' says to take her advice,it is better than gold.If you don't take her advice,your own folly will lead to the grave,and she will laugh.

 

[Hidden In Him]

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."
(Proverbs 1:7 NKJV)
Many people believe that wisdom can only be found in self-help books, but the Bible is clear that true wisdom comes from God alone.

What do you think?

Wisdom comes not only from words written in a book, or for that matter not even just from words written in the pages of scripture. It comes from the One who wrote the word of God, and Who still speaks to us today when we give ourselves to hearing His Voice, and receiving His teachings through the Spirit sent to teach us all things (John 14:26).

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."
(Proverbs 1:7 NKJV)
Many people believe that wisdom can only be found in self-help books, but the Bible is clear that true wisdom comes from God alone.

What do you think?

I agree that wisdom on matters of Christianity come from God alone.
But His wisdom can be relayed by holy men of God, and their writings.
Wisdom on gardening, or car repair, may come from self-help books though.

Hey TonyM13

There was a time in my life I would have argued against that truth. But not today. I have learned, much as Solomon did, that man's wisdom is pretty worthless as it regards our being able to help ourselves with how our minds work. Wisdom is, of course, all about our minds and our thinking.

God bless,

Hey All,
I would add that wisdom comes from making mistakes.
If I make a mistake, and I learn from it, I will be better equipped to not make that mistake again.

Example:

"Does this dress make me look fat?"

Now am I supposed to tell the truth here?
Because the truth will cause a bigger problem.
And I don't want to hurt feelings.

So wisdom says deflect but still tell the truth.

Me: "You look fabulous to me no matter what you wear."

I told the truth and I got a kiss for it.

Wisdom is cool.

Keep walking everybody.
May God bless,
Taz

I believe Gods knowledge comes through His spirit naturally, but it also can come through diligent asking. I understand Gods nature because He is very simple minded in His approach, its people that make God complicated.
