The Place Of Wisdom

I was reminded once again of the place of wisdom. The Bible is the place. In it's pages we find Gods guidance and insights for life. Some days the decisions we make are easy and quick, other days they are not easy at all and require much thought, prayer and guidance. As Christians we look to the Bible. The Proverbs are precepts that are very applicable to our day. They are like a rule, a measuring rod by which we compare the ways of God with the ways of men. In Proverbs we find the traits of the Godly versus the ungodly. Wise people and foolish are both described there. The teachable and the stubbornly rebellious are there as well. It is wise for a Christian to learn God's values, to live by them, even though they may challenge us in ways that may seem to much for us. Our lives will become increasingly in contrast to much of what is called the church in these religiously correct days when we seem to have the form of Godliness but not much of the power of His Presence or experiential working. God always call His people to higher ground, especially in times of confusion such as we see today. To reject the ways of God is to reject wisdom, we then embrace foolishness, confusion, sin and death. So may the place of wisdom be once again found by all of us, there in the Bible. But may the place of wisdom also be found in our own hearts as we learn to cherish and honor His word once more.
