Fear of the Lord is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. Proverbs 1:7 NLT
Fools are those who refuse to listen to godliness and godly wisdom, preferring the thoughts of their own minds.
A test for us as to our own foolishness is when we are under pressure from time or business. Do we revert to our own Lordship or continue to seek God's? It is a decption to assume that our own wisdom is God's or good enough for Him. Is selfishness or self pity involved? This reveals we are in the flesh and choosing our own wisdom.
Self pity flies to its own defence, as does selfishness. This defence is usually arrogant and self righteous. Not good!
Godly wisdom is humble, seeking the kingdom of God and not the kingdom of men. It allows God to rule in the lives of others, selfishness demands obedience to self.
May Your Kingdom come Lord, Your will be done. Amen!
