Divine Wisdom vs. Earthly Wisdom: A Spiritual Journey

He describes wisdom in two ways. He says that there is a wisdom that does not come down from above. Verse 17 says but the wisdom from above, so there is a wisdom that comes down from above and their wisdom that does not come down from above because it's Earthly. So he deals with a contrast approach to wisdom. [00:29:02]

There is wisdom that comes down from heaven but he says there's wisdom that comes from Earth and any wisdom that comes from Earth he says comes from hell, it's demonic. So even though it's coming from Earth if it disagrees with the wisdom that comes from above it came from hell even though humans are giving it. [00:63:47]

The wisdom from above brings order and peace the wisdom from the earth brings conflict and consternation because it's coming from the wrong source. The wisdom from above according to Romans chapter 16 verse 27 comes from the only wise God. There's only one source of wisdom. [00:110:58]

Job chapter 28 is the most comprehensive statement outside of proverbs on wisdom and just to give you a couple of verses from Job 28 he says in verse 12 but where can we where can wisdom be found and where is the place of understanding. Verse 13 says man does not know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living. [00:135:29]

Verse 20 where then does wisdom come from, and where is the place of understanding, thus it is hidden from the eyes of the living and concealed from the birds of the air where do I find it verse 23 God understands its way, and he knows its place of location, for he looks to the ends of the Earth. [00:165:11]

And sees everything under the sun verse 28 and to man he says behold the fear of the Lord that is wisdom and to depart from Evil is understanding what he's saying is your source for wisdom has to be rooted in God because he's the only one who know Kate knows where it's located. [00:190:44]

And the reason why he's the only way he knows who where it's located is because he's infinite and we're finite in other words he is without limitation we are with plenty limitation that's why we go oops, that's why we go my bad, that's why we go I thought I felt because we have limited scope. [00:207:43]

That's why you need an app, we have limited scope so we need a Waze app a wisdom app that can negotiate because it can see further than we can and he says he understands God's name is I am present tense he has no paths no future everything for God is now anything tomorrow he's already been there and come back. [00:232:51]

So he cannot be flawed he cannot make a mistake he cannot advise incorrectly but when knowledge gets mixed with understanding giving birth to wisdom many couples get a divorce because they say I'm not happy when they never got around to finding out what a man is supposed to be what a woman is supposed to be. [00:260:06]

What a husband's supposed to be what a wife is supposed to be then have the understanding of how to apply it so that they don't have to get divorced because they went back to the wise person who established marriage in the first place, when you abandon with you're left with education. [00:275:13]

When you abandon wisdom you're left with information, when you abandon wisdom you're left with chaos, what you're seeing in our culture today are fools on display, we got racial fools political fools social fools gender fools why because they have abandoned wisdom from above they have accepted the wisdom of Earth. [00:291:43]

He says Divine wisdom and human wisdom are mutually exclusive, he says the wisdom that is not from above will not work because God is not going to be involved in it even if you have the right data, you'll just have conflict. [00:605:34]
