A mocker seeks wisdom and does not find it, but knowledge comes easily to the perceptive. Stay away from a foolish man; you will gain no knowledge from his speech. The sensible man's wisdom is to consider his way, but the stupidity of fools deceives them. Fools mock at making restitution, but there is goodwill among the upright. Proverbs 14:6-9
We see a proliferation of those who profess they can lead us to wisdom, movies are made of them and suddenly Buddas begin appearing and fools buy them. If we are determined to find wisdom on our own terms, to be Lord of our own lives, then we will make some foolish choices when the best choice we can ever make is Christ.
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, the life, no man comes to the Father but by Me." John 14:6
We hear it, but do we believe it? In all things He is Lord, all things. I can trust Him for all things, all things!!
The sensible man's wisdom is to consider his way. I must consider the claims of Christ and if He is right, why do I try and be Lord? (He is right by the way-I have road tested Him)
Our minds can swim with answers to the problems we face and if we pick up our answers we may find at the end of the road, there is death.
What does God's truth look and feel like? There is peace in His truth, there is light in His truth, there is life in His truth.
Remember fools mock at making restitution, there is one restitution you need to make and from it all others flow: make it right with God. Amen!
