"I will destroy the wisdom of the WISE and discard the intelligence of the INTELLIGENT!"
Many human beings are really arrogant. They think of themselves as wise or intelligent when in reality they are fools! Because they are educated or trained they assume they know everything and have wisdom and intelligence. Think of the physicians that thought blood letting healed people. Think of the best scholars of their age that thought the world was flat. Think of the pharaohs that thought they could live forever and built pyramids with the possessions they wanted to take with them. No one that does not Fear, Know and Love God has even the beginning of wisdom or intelligence! Teachers, philosophers, political leaders, financial wizards, nor any other person that does not recognize God and His Creation is really a fool and deserving of our One Truth Today. The Lord destroys the wisdom of the so called wise and he discards the intelligence of the supposed intelligent!
Has man brought peace to the world? Has man cured diseases and overcome death? Has man conquered the Universe? Can man make anything out of nothing? Can men Save themselves?
The clear answer is that no matter how wise or intelligent they believe that they are, men can not be like God. In fact we are not far from the jungles and deserts that we sprang from. We are incapable of stopping our own death. We may overcome a disease or invent new products for our lives but we never can compare with the Wisdom of God. We want peace, and there is no peace. We want perfection, and there is no perfection. We want eternal life and the only way to achieve it is by Jesus Christ the Lord God. So who is really wise or intelligent, God!
If you do not Fear God, if you do not know God, if you do not love God, you do not even have the beginning of wisdom or intelligence. You are a fool! Knowledge of the Lord and His Prophets and Word are what lead to wisdom and understanding. No God = no wisdom, no intelligence, no understanding. It is a simple equation that leads to true wisdom and intelligence. God must come first in all of our lives before we can achieve anything else. To fools the story of the cross is folly and untrue. All the time they think they are wise and intelligent, but God will destroy the wisdom of the "wise" and discard the intelligence of the "intelligent" and bring them to nothing. Believer's know who are THE WISE AND THE INTELLIGENT!
