Think you are smart?

For Tuesday!


Check this verse out:

Proverbs 1:7
7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge,
But fools despise wisdom and instruction.

This verse tells us the answer to life. Take a moment to really soak it in. In the game of life their are many who think they have it all figured out. Fame, fortune, good looks, lots of women or lots of men depending if you are male or female, big house, fast cars, big fancy degree, and the list goes on and on. These folks who have these things in many cases think they are pretty smart and have gone a long way in life. Now let me be clear that one can obtain many of these in the right manner minus the lots of the opposite sex but in most cases when these are obtained it is for purely selfish reasons not to become closer to God. Look to where God says we are to start in gaining knowledge...by fearing the Lord! You know if every man and woman would do that this world would be so much different. This verse goes on to say that fools dispise wisdom and instruction. This could be applied many ways but I believe it is refering to the wisom and instruction that comes from God's Word. It is sad to say that the majority of Christains have not read the entire Bible let alone the unbelieving world. So how can we obtain all the knowledge God has for us if we are not reading His instuction Book? You're right if you said we can't!

So let me ask you again...do you think you are smart? If you are not in God's word, you are not as smart as you could be!!! And for those that don't read the Bible....they are what the Bible calls fools! If you don't believe me read the verse above again.

God bless and open that Bible!!
