Then I saw that wisdom surpasses foolishness as light surpasses darkness. Ecclesiastes 2:13. What happens when do not listen to God's wisdom or do God's wisdom. We become foolish when we do not listen to God or do what His wisdom says. wisdom builds on wisdom but not seeking builds to foolishness and foolishness builds to more foolishness. So, if we're in Wisdom we will keep building on that and if we are not in wisdom we will build only on foolishness.
The wise seek more wisdom but the foolish seek only more foolishness the wisdom I am talking about is God's wisdom not, worldly wisdom. When we come to Christ, we will not know it all, but we will have a higher level of wisdom than that of a non-believer. Not true at all, look at the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John and see the believers of the day did not know God's wisdom and were not seeking it, they were seeking the law and foolish things. so just because you are a believer does not mean that you have the wisdom and are seeking it. To get the wisdom we need to be actively seeking God and His wisdom.
Do you think God will impart his Wisdom to someone who is actively seeking His wisdom or to someone who is foolish? if you answer the latter of that question, you are foolish and not seeking God's wisdom. So, if we are not seeking His wisdom, we will not get God's wisdom, we will get nothing right. Our minds have to be filled with something it cannot remain empty, so, instead of God's wisdom we will get worldly wisdom or things that are foolish, and it will only lead to bad things. This lead to all those negative emotions coming up and hurts us even worse than we were for just not seeking God's wisdom.
We cannot seek foolish things and not God's wisdom and glorify God with that foolishness, we need God's wisdom to glorify Him. a fool can lift up another fool. But a fool cannot lift up to a person who is wise because how does the fool know that that person is wise. so as I have said we need to actively seek God's wisdom to lift high the name of Jesus. A fool cannot lift up Jesus because God is the ultimate in wisdom and the fool cannot see that because he is foolish. When you seek foolishly you only see foolish. But when you seek wisdom you only see wisdom. For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18. so if we are not seeking God they will perish because they do not have the wisdom of God.
The Bible talks about the wise will become confounded and be destroyed I will discuss this tomorrow.
So, to end for today, we need to actively be seeking the wisdom that only comes from God and not from this world, for we do not want to become fools.
