WISDOM

At the Beach

In the Bible we are reading of two kinds of wisdom.

There is first of all the wisdom that is given by God. This wisdom views life in terms of eternity.

What does the Bible say about this wisdom?

We are reading about this wisdom in James 3:17 and there it says:

“But the wisdom that comes from heaven is

  1.  first of all pure;
  2. then peace-loving,
  3. considerate,
  4. submissive,
  5. full of mercy and
  6. good fruit,
  7. impartial and
  8. sincere.”

The second kind of wisdom is the “wisdom of the world”. (First Corinthians 1:20)

And this is what the Bible says about this kind of wisdom: We read in First Corinthians 1:19, “‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise.'”

Are you choosing the wisdom that is given by God, or are you choosing the “wisdom of the world”?
