God’s wisdom is unlike worldly intelligence. The world is filled with opinions and scholarly debates. The television parades a host of people with strongly held opinions. They can adamantly argue for their point of view. “Experts” can make declarations that common people are expected to believe.
Yet despite the abundance of opinions promulgated today, much of what is said rings hollow.
Society continues to suffer the plagues of addiction, crime, and violence. Countless people suffer from depression and suicide. Wars are epidemic. Persecution and intolerance are widespread. Despite a plethora of scientific advances regularly heralded by the media, the world’s wisdom continues to prove inadequate for peoples’ needs.
God’s wisdom is different. God created the universe. He knows how it functions. God created people. He knows how they can thrive and what brings them death. He has existed for all eternity. He knows how time will end. His understanding surpasses that even the world’s most brilliant person.
God shared His wisdom with Solomon, and people traveled from all over the world to hear it. That same God is prepared to make His wisdom available to you. What difference do you suppose that could make in your life and work?
