Wisdom

I was listening to a radio program on the way to Ohio and it was on wisdom. So I decided to list some of the thoughts that I gleaned from the program.

Worldly Wisdom: The wisdom from the world. These are just bad ideas that the world spouts as wisdom. The basic principle underlying worldly wisdom is "Eat, live, and be merry for tomorrow you die." This type of wisdom leads to distraction; instead of facing the world we bury ourselves in other things: "let's watch a movie."

Secular Wisdom: This type of wisdom comes from academia. This is wisdom without morals. It can range from evolution to how to fly a plane.

Godly Wisdom: This type of wisdom leads us to face our problems and work through them. It is the type of wisdom that comes from the Word of God. This is the type of Wisdom that will lead us to happiness. 

After listening to this program I would like to study through the Proverbs and write what I find here. I'm really looking forward to this study and I hope you are too!
