To Become Wise

To become wise, our information diet must begin with the Bible. It must be our solid foundation, as well as the grid through which all other sources of wisdom are tested. Instead of starting your day with social media, the fake news or fake YouTube news start it with the Bible. Immerse yourself in the eternal wisdom of God’s direct speech to us the most trustworthy, authoritative, comforting, and illuminating voice to which we could tune our ears. Scripture is full of ironclad wisdom for how we can live, love, suffer and hope. 

Luke 11:28 ESV

(28) But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

Luke 6:47-49 ESV

(47) Everyone who comes to me and hears my words and does them, I will show you what he is like:
(48) he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when a flood arose, the stream broke against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.
(49) But the one who hears and does not do them is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. When the stream broke against it, immediately it fell, and the ruin of that house was great.”

Luke 8:21 ESV

(21) But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it.”
