The "wisdom of this world" is FOOLISHNESS says GOD, the Creator of it! God even uses the most foolish things to confound man.... HE has even used a speaking ass just to show the folly of it all! Solomon, whom GOD pronounced as the "wisest and richest man who ever lived" finally concluded after searching the world over.... that "ALL is vanity".... E V E R Y T H I N G!
Now, the FEAR OF THE LORD.... it's the beginningof WISDOM.... (GOD's wisdom) but fools, the scriptures say, DESPISE IT! (In other words.... they loathe doing things GOD's way... and hate those that do!) They are relentless in promoting themselves and others who seem to have it made.... convinced in their minds based upon outward appearances of successes. In the earthly, sensual, devilish wisdom of this world, success is measured by what is seen.
Now, GOD is NOT a man.. (men lie!) HE said that kind of wisdom... originating from man, is foolish.... and IT IS... whether we believe it or not! So, WHY is it that we see folks tripping over everyone else's toes striving in their intellect to convince others to follow? FOOLISHNESS! Wait, listen to this... WHY do you see folks running after self-exalted know-it-alls, AND paying them money to hear all the stuff they know? FOOLISHNESS! WHY are we following these folks as if we do not have the mind of Christ? We have made idols out of these over-paid-smug-in-their-ego philosophers! FOOLISHNESS!
Now wait..... Don't let me get started on fads! (stuff) Now we are following things??? It's bad enough following man! FOOLISHNESS! "Here a fad there a fad everywhere a fad-fad!" Now, there we go... like trampling over weak wildebeests in their annual migration trek! FOOLISHNESS!
What ever happened to TRUSTING in the LORD? How about... leaning NOT to our own understanding? Are we really acknowledging HIM in ALL our ways??? We SAY we trust HIM! We say HE is our Shepherd and that we shall not want.... but we have picked up the deceptive antics of fools if we are following men, and gathering things without the leading of the Lord.
Beloved... check your spirit... go ahead.... test it! Have you allowed the fashioning of this world to stifle out the voice of wisdom from above just because of this trying Real Estate Market? Don't forget, GOD was the FIRST Realtor! He OWNS all the land and knows how to release homes to you..... by HIS wisdom! The wisdom of this world is foolishness!
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. Col 2:8
