Wisdom is tricky. We think we know something, but we really don't. We think we're on top of things, but we really aren't. The issue at stake most of the time is that we think we know what we know, but we really only know a piece of what we need.
Wisdom is like that. We build upon the things we know, adding to it, and finding out that the things we thought we know aren't really true. As we get to know God in this way, we begin to see more and more of who He really is. We thought we know thus-and-such about God, but the truth of the matter is that we really only knew part of it, and this new revelation of Who God is (in our experience, not from the Scriptures) helps us to see what we previously "knew" about Him in better focus.
So why do I say this all to you? It is because I want you to remember that the quest for God's wisdom is a never ending quest. Keep on reading your Proverbs, keep on studying your Scriptures, keep on seeking the truth, and you will become wise beyond your years...because you will have the wisdom of God.
Comment below about something you thought you knew about God and realized after a while that it wasn't quite all there was to know. And we will see you on Sunday!
