Everywhere I look I see that wisdom does not abound in our society. We see multiple incidents of stupidity daily with dog owners entering our animal shelters. We’ve clearly shown that our own wisdom is just foolishness. We look to ourselves for wisdom when only the wisdom of God is sufficient. I’ve decided to take a path to find wisdom and I am taking you along on that journey.
Solomon asked for discernment in 1st Kings 3:9:
Give your servant therefore an understanding mind to govern your people, that I may discern between good and evil,
The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016), 1 Ki 3:9.
Discernment is the first step towards wisdom, the ability to distinguish between good and evil. Looking around, we see good overcome by evil. We need to become a society that sees evil for what it is.
