“Wise”
Blessings folk!
The last verse of Psalm 107 asked a question?
Who is wise?
Psalm 107:43
He Who is wise?
Let him give heed to these things,
And consider the loving-kindnesses of the LORD.
The wise one is the one who gives heed to the Word of the Lord.
The wise one is the one who considers the loving-kindnesses of the Lord.
The Lord tells us much about wisdom in His Word.
Consider:
Pro 1:1-2
The proverbs of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel:
To know wisdom and instruction,
To discern the sayings of understanding,
The proverbs of Solomon had many purposes.
The first listed is to know wisdom.
Pro 1:3-7
To receive instruction in wise behavior,
Righteousness, justice and equity;
To give prudence to the naive,
To the youth knowledge and discretion,
A wise man will hear and increase in learning,
And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel,
To understand a proverb and a figure,
The words of the wise and their riddles.
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge;
Fools despise wisdom and instruction.
The Proverbs instruct us in wise behavior.
A wise man will hear.
A wise man will increase in learning.
A wise man will hear the word of the wise.
A wise man will walk in the fear of the Lord, knowing that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.
A fool - the unwise - despise wisdom and instruction.
A fool walks not in the fear of the Lord.
A fool walks in the fear of man, situation, circumstance.
Many professing to be Believers are manifesting themselves as fools.
They walk in fear rather than faith.
Mat 7:20
“So then, you will know them by their fruits.
Much is being revealed.
Rom 1:22
Professing to be wise, they became fools,
Which are you?
Wise, walking by faith in the fear of the Lord.
Fool, walking in flesh in the fear of man.
