The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.
Proverbs 9:10, ESV
We can learn much in life, the is no denying it. We can even make wise decisions.
But only by learning and knowing the truth of God can we be truly wise, for all truth and wisdom is found in and through Him.
Be careful what you say and protect your life. A careless talker destroys himself.
Proverbs 13:3, GNT
We see evidence of this verse throughout our culture today. How many people have to apologize for a quick response that is insensitive, rude, or flat out wrong?
Search no more, and find some wisdom at Proverbial Thought!
Firstly, I offer to you today a sort-of-proverb:
those who have accepted Christ
do not like me
those who have responded to Christ
love being around me
The meaning behind this is simple: it is actually easy to accept a truth. People do this all the time without acting on a truth. Think of how many times we see commercials calling for us to sponsor a child or rescue a dog or cat or do something amazing. We accept that we should be doing something to help our world be better, but then we change the channel and maybe think about it again.
It is when we respond that real change begins to happen. When we respond to a call (and I am assuming a positive response), those who have not responded tend to feel guilty or envious. What do guilty and envious people do? They make excuses, they accuse, and they shun. What do those who also responded do? Get together and share stories!
That being said, here is a poem for you about what we are responding to:
______________
i could search forever and never find
a love like that from this God of mine
He is the Creator of the universe
all things from the past through the future
He made my heart and mind and soul
and He maintains His loose yet firm control
because i searched all over and found
that my God can be found all around
He is all good things that exist
and He redeemed us all through His Son Jesus
because His love and grace so wonderful
extends to all men and women who are sinful
and means it covers every person
and therefore all of His Creation
you could search forever and also find
the greatest love is shown in Jesus Christ
a simple man of God
