Do Not Confuse Wisdom With Greatness

Greatness and wisdom are outrightly two different things. Never you associate greatness with wisdom. The great can be great and lack understanding, just like the foolish man in the Bible that depended on his goods only and found in his eyes no place for God.







"And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? " (Luke 12:19-20).








Also



"The fool has said in his heart: there's no God."






That fool could be a leper, a poverty stricken fellow or a very stickenly rich man or politician!




As long as he has said in his heart "There's no God", he is a fool.



(JOB 32:9)







Do not always associate age with wisdom, because the FOOL hath said "There's no God", and that FOOL could well be an aged man.






As a believer, when you think of the GUILT, SHAME and REPENTANCE with weepings that you have to go through; you wouldn't want to fall into that BESETTING SIN of yours again.




But in case you d; please say:






"I have borne chastisement, I will not offend anymore, that which I see not teach thou me; if I have done iniquity, I will do no more." (JOB 32:31-32)
