Proverbs 1:20-23
20 Wisdom shouts in the streets.
She cries out in the public square.
21 She calls to the crowds along the main street,
to those gathered in front of the city gate:
22 “How long, you simpletons,
will you insist on being simpleminded?
How long will you mockers relish your mocking?
How long will you fools hate knowledge?
23 Come and listen to my counsel.
I’ll share my heart with you
and make you wise.
It is interesting how so many people feel that they are wise. They feel that they know the answer to the world’s problems. You can watch the news and see people talk about how to fix the market, or how to fix the war. You can see people argue about who is best to be the next president. Sometimes they may even be right about some of the issues, but very rarely are they utilizing true wisdom when they speak. Wisdom is not something to take lightly. True wisdom comes from the Lord. Solomon, the author of the Proverbs, when asked by God what he wanted, asked for wisdom. That is where the world needs to turn to fix its problems. We don’t need different money managers or market analysts. Instead, we need to turn to the Lord.
