When God Says …
“Wisdom is too lofty for a fool; He does not open his mouth in the gate.” (Proverbs 24:7 NKJV)
Wisdom is a divine gift from God whenever one, who believes and fears God reverently, asks. It is written: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." (James 1:5 ESV)
To an arrogant fool who rejects God, wisdom is unreachable. As a fool remains a fool, “The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”(Psalms 14:1a NIV)
At the gate, where the wise men gathered for intelligent conversation to discuss the issues of the day, the fool sulk with mouth shut. He conveys the image of a wise person by being silent and as if in circumspect. He may fool the unbelieving world. But, not everybody, his foolishness reveals who he is. Being wise is having a personal intimate relationship with God through faith in Jesus. We are who we are - wise to depend in His grace, not because of who we are. It is because of who He is. Without Him we are nothing. It is written: “It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.” (1 Corinthians 1:30 NIV)
And I say, AMEN!
