I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and discard the intelligence of the intelligent!
Human beings many times are really arrogant. Many individuals think of themselves as wise or intelligent, when in reality they are no more than fools. Think of the physicians that thought blood letting healed people. Think of the scholars that thought the world was flat. Think of the pharaohs that planned to live forever in their pyramids. Philosophers, scholars and the worlds brightest minds in the end look foolish if they do not recognize God and His creations, including themselves. Has man brought peace to the world, cured all illnesses, overcome death and conquered the universe? The clear answer is no! In fact we are not far from the deserts and jungles that we rose from. We can not create something from nothing and more importantly we could never save our selves from death. So are the wise men really wise? Are the intelligent really intelligent?
The One Truth Today is that God gives wisdom and intelligence to believers and He can destroy the wisdom of those who do not respect Him and Know and Fear Him. God can discard the intelligence of the intelligent if they do not Love and Worship Him. God has continually baffled the supposed learned men. We overcome one disease or problem and another takes its place. Man asks for peace and there will be no peace until the Lord comes again. No one is really clever or discerning without the inspiration of God. If we compare the wisdom of God with the wisdom of man, there really is no comparison. God's mind is not our mind and His ways are not our ways! So who really is wise and who really is intelligent?
THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM IS THE FEAR, KNOWLEDGE, AND LOVE OF GOD! That is right, if you do not fear, know or love God, you are a fool! Knowledge of the Lord and His Word and the Word of His Prophets lead to wisdom and understanding. What part of this equation can not be missed if you want to be wise and intelligent. Putting God first in every aspect of your life is the most important part. If you are unwilling to believe in the Lord then you will be incapable of true wisdom or true intelligence. To fools the story of the cross is folly and untrue and they do not even know that they are dead men walking! You can not be more of a fool than that. God frustrates and brings to nothing anything that non believer's espouse or believe. So who are THE WISE AND INTELLIGENT? Everyone who has come to a Saving Grace and believes in Jesus Christ the Lord God has achieved that gift in this life and the life to come!
