What is Wisdom

 “The fear of the Lord is
the beginning of knowledge,
but fools despise wisdom and
 instructions.” (Proverbs 1:7)

~^~
So many live in ignorance
Laugh at jest of deliverance
Think salvation is a joke
Misunderstand the holy yoke

Treat God like He is a fool
Like to think they're so cool
Claim brilliance reading books
Of God's bible won't take a look

Quote from all the worlds greats
Treat God's quotes with hate
They join together to deride
Anyone who takes God's side

Happy are they to sneer and chuckle
Claiming to God they'll never buckle
Until mortality shows its face
Then they cry out for His grace

They totally misunderstand what is sin
Thinking it's  denial of  all the good things
Afraid they have to give up their control
This thinking is what loses them their soul

God has one requirement to gain His favor
The one that asks us to make an endeavor
It is simply that we are to believe in Him
When we do our relationship will begin

Would they judge Plato, Freud,Voltaire
Having not read their books to compare
Some feel so wise their knowledge true
But of wisdom they haven't got a clue

~^~

 “Let no one deceive himself If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age let him become a fool, that he may become wise For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God for it is written,’He catches the wise in their own craftiness'."
I Corinthians 3:18-19

In your poem,it's easy to see all wisdom comes from him. God the master poet, God the master of the universe. God the master of all that is. Love and honor him. Your wisdom will be therein found. Thanks for reminding us of the real priorities of our fragile existance. With him I can be all that I wish. Without him I shall be nothing upon this earth. Jon Michael Willey

Eileen - you do not mince words nor sentiment. I agree with every word you wrote. It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who think His word is for the simple-minded or that, perhaps,it doesn't apply to them. To follow His word is what He wants of each of us - Christian, Jew, Muslim, Budhist, or any other religion - each teaches the same ideology.

God bless you. Kathy

Wisdom comes from reading and experience. We have the choice to take it all in or run past it as fast as we can focused on things we think are more important.

"Wisdom as the crow flies...." this pretty much sums life up in a nutshell. You always give so much to your poetry and each time is more remarable than the previous time.
Blessings and love,
Susan

Well said, Eileen. There will come a time when each of us becomes clear on what is truth and what was opinion. I hope that God is as forgiving as I believe Him to be, because as we stand before Him, the truth will be undeniable.
Take care,
Sherry

Did you realise that platonic derives from Plato...

Freud was a weirdo messing us up right to this day, as with Marx, and Voltarie who was anti faith, screamed at his death when he saw fire approaching, yet Jung was pretty spot on for his day... I read anything with words... Yet after so many years I have found that all life's answers are in the Chirstian faith... Spec the Mystics....

Top hoe of a penn again...

The wisdom of life is contained in your words and Jesus laid the foundation. Oh when I return will there be any faith left on earth?

This sunday I don't know why or what provoked the thoughts, but suddenly I was thinking on San Francis of Assisi's "lesser creatures" which never questioned their being or why God does what...
Yes, What is Wisdom? Perhaps we should ask the question to a squirrel.

Putting it to the infidels with class . . . Some folks are so brilliant they can't see the truth for the ignorance of their soul . . .

But of wisdom they haven't got a clue

I sadly believe this is our modern day Mantra, and we will one day soon pay very dearly for it.
