UNFLAWED WISDOM

From: Karen Parrish – karpar67@gmail.com

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction…Proverbs 1:7.”

Have you ever said, “I know what I know”? Of course, you have, we all have. However, the above verse causes me to reflect on what do I REALLY know? God tells us, “My ways are not your ways, my thoughts are not your thoughts”! Whoa! So do I really know?

I only know from my perspective and that is NOT God’s! We humans can get so smug in what we know, but this is based on education, which is often skewed, based on experience, and our own perspective, all of which is skewed. We all know that person who has an answer for everything, and know it all. We even call that self confidence in some instances.

More than anything, God wants a relationship with His children, you and me. That means we need to rely more and more on Him and His knowledge. He will fill us with His knowledge as we draw close and depend on Him. We humans often make decisions without consulting Him first, I know I do. The older I get, the more I realize I must depend on Him! Why, because I know His knowledge surpasses mine!

My prayer for all of us is that we will not get puffed up and conceited over our human knowledge but prayerfully seek God’s knowledge and wisdom. Our knowledge is skewed and often flawed. As we humbly seek His face, He fills us with divine wisdom. Thank you Father for loving us and all praise be to You forever and ever.
