What We Hear
What are you hearing these days?
We live in a world filled with noise: the hum of the washer-dryer, the constant running of the fridge, the TV broadcasting, and our phones...
Our workplace.
People talking,
There are noises everywhere.
What noises are you listening to?
What we hear, will fill our minds and we will think on it to some extent.
Information on almost anything is a download away, but not all information brings wisdom.
Knowledge can exist without wisdom.
Webster defines wisdom: the quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just judgement as to action,
Discernment or insight.
The Bible clearly states that Christ is wisdom.
God wants us to have knowledge of Him and what He commands, but equally knowing is not all there is to wisdom.
Wisdom is a gift from God.
"If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him."
"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction."
The Bible says the only thing we contribute to our redemption is the sin that made it necessary.
So, no one, however mighty, "might boast" in God. The gospel levels humanity and exalts God.
Knowledge memorizes scripture, wisdom obeys them.
Let us obey.
Until next time, Pam
