The Wisdom In God's Word

Read:
Proverbs 8:12-21

Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? . . . Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world. -1 Corinthians 1:20

Bible In One Year: 2 Samuel 1-4

We treasure Scripture. It's God's inspired Word, and it teaches us the way to abundant life in this world and eternal life in the world to come. Indeed, it is the source of a wisdom that goes beyond that of the wisest philosophers (1 Corinthians 1:20). But this fact is rarely acknowledged in our culture.

So I was glad to read an article by The New York Times columnist David Brooks extolling biblical wisdom. He praised Martin Luther King Jr. for insight into human nature derived from Scripture. He felt that King "had a more accurate view of political realities than his more secular liberal allies because he could draw on biblical wisdom about human nature. Religion didn't just make civil rights leaders stronger-it made them smarter." And Brooks said further: "Biblical wisdom is deeper and more accurate than the wisdom offered by the secular social sciences."

Are we drawing on that source of wisdom in our own lives? We need Scripture's wisdom to deal with our personal problems and political issues. If we study and obey the Bible, we will be able to humbly testify with the psalmist, "I have more understanding than all my teachers, for Your testimonies are my meditation" (Psalm 119:99). -Vernon Grounds

The Bible is God's Word to us,
Still fresh through all the ages;
And if we read it we will find
God's wisdom on its pages. -Sper

One truth from the Bible is worth more than all the wisdom of man.

Howdy all! Happy Vitamin C Day.

[tuliptree76]

Thanks for the info, PAL! I couldn't get the last link to open though.

[tuliptree76]

Hi Victoria!

[The Mayor]

Hi Victoria..

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi there, Tulip! Good to see you, finally! LOL

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Mayor.

[tuliptree76]

LOL! Yes. I've been busy as usual. I'm just taking a short break before back to work on things I have to do for tomorrow.

[Victoria Delsoul]

We hardly see each other anymore.

Don't work too much, lol

[tuliptree76]

I haven't been on a whole lot in general lately. It seems like everything has been building up this semester. But I'm trying to not work too hard. LOL!

[Victoria Delsoul]

I understand. I've been busy as well.

How's Winston doing?

[tuliptree76]

He is doing well. :-)

[Victoria Delsoul]

That's great. How old is he now? Two - three months?

[tuliptree76]

I got him in January, so almost 3 months.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Wow, time flies... soon he'll be an old man, LOL.

[tuliptree76]

LOL! Yes, my little boy is growing fast. ;-)

[Victoria Delsoul]

And he's cute, too.

[tuliptree76]

:-)

I was hoping that he's gain more color, but that seems like it has stopped lately.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Oh well, as long as he's healthy... that's more important.

[tuliptree76]

Yeah, he seems to be.

How are your pets doing?
