"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, 'He is the one who catches the wise in their craftiness'; and again, "The Lord knows the reasonings of the wise, that they are useless.'" -I Corinthians 3:19-20 (NASB)
Throughout our lives we search for wisdom. Sometimes we look for wisdom in information and knowledge. We try to know more by studying books or looking for information online. We may learn about our world by exploring or by tuning in to a 24 hour news source. Our attempts to gain wisdom through earthly means may be noble pursuits, but they are not complete.
No matter how wise it may seem, the world cannot offer us complete wisdom. Our knowledge and wisdom can only be complete when we include God and His wisdom in our pursuits. God knows everything. We cannot access all of God's knowledge and wisdom on our own, but we can ask that God provide us with wisdom and knowledge. When we include God in our search for wisdom, we can live as God wants us to live. We can avoid traps and snares in our lives when we look to God and follow the wisdom He provides!
Don't blindly accept the world as wise, look to God for complete wisdom!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your willingness to share wisdom with me. Please keep me from blindly accepting the knowledge of the world as "complete" wisdom. Provide me with Your complete wisdom as I need it throughout my life. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
