I am VERY wise according to my friends and family in my home and work, but sometimes, I can take my wisdom a little too far:
Consider the verses below found in 1 Kings 4:
God gave Solomon wisdom and very great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore.[30] Solomon’s wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East, and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt.[31] He was wiser than anyone else, including Ethan the Ezrahite—wiser than Heman, Kalkol and Darda, the sons of Mahol. And his fame spread to all the surrounding nations.[32] He spoke three thousand proverbs and his songs numbered a thousand and five.[33] He spoke about plant life, from the cedar of Lebanon to the hyssop that grows out of walls. He also spoke about animals and birds, reptiles and fish.[34] From all nations people came to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, sent by all the kings of the world, who had heard of his wisdom. - (1 Kings 4:29-34)
But, if you look closely, you can see another side:
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. - (James 1:5)
But, from the beginning, we need to realize something:
“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”[6] When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.[7] Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. - (Genesis 3:5-7)
So, here's the deal. I am trying not to be more wise than I am foolish at times. But, as you get to know me, you will understand how I do things in bible study as I dig deeper into God's Holy Scriptures.
One more example:
“See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,[3] and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills—[4] to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, - (Exodus 31:2-4)
Lesson on the saying: A word to the wise; that accusation is false and against God's Perfect will for our lives. Don't meddle in; meditate on His Word! I triple DARE you too!
Blessings!
