Knowledge versus Wisdom
Eve fell into a trap that I understand all too well... because sometimes, I just want to know.
I want to know what the future holds. I want to know why I dreamt what I did last night. I want to know how things will all work out. I want to know all the ingredients in the new food I tasted. I am a planner and so, yes, I want to know how to anticipate what might be happening and prepare myself, and others, accordingly. I want to know!
When I get confused about something in Scripture... When the path is murky and unclear... When I am striving to follow God’s lead... It’s not wrong to want to know, right? Or is it...
The Wise Foundation
“The wise man built his house upon the rock...” Are you singing the song with me now? It’s a catchy children’s song that comes directly from Matthew 7:24-27.
And its application to wisdom is not just for children.
Jesus closes the Sermon on the Mount with this practical illustration of the importance of putting what we have learned into practice.
Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock... But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
The only difference between the wise man and the fool? Whether or not they put Jesus’ words into practice.
Are you ready to put God’s words of wisdom into practice?
