True Wisdom

Wisdom is not knowing. It is knowing that you do not know. We have no wisdom in ourselves, and our hearts are deceitfully wicked.  


"Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord (Proverbs 3:7a)."

"If anyone imagines that he knows something, he does not yet know as he ought to know 
(1 Corinthians 8:2)."

Wisdom is knowing the source of where to obtain wisdom. God is the only one who is truly wise.

"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach (James 1:5)."

Adam and Eve sought to be wise apart from God and became fools. There is no wisdom apart from God. True wisdom is knowing that all wisdom is found in God and trusting His Word is truth.

If we follow our own foolish hearts and try to become wise through our own reasoning we will become fools.

"Professing to be wise, [we will become] fools (Romans 1:22)."

Scripture commands us, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; (Proverbs 3:5)."

"To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen (Romans 16:27)."(emphasis added)
