Proverbs 10:14
Wise men lay up knowledge:
But the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
Our dear beloved Master said, by their fruits ye shall know them. Our text today exemplifies Jesus’ statement.
In the Holy, Book, ‘knowledge’ means ‘the knowledge and understanding of God’s Inspired Laws and Statutes. ‘Wisdom’ means the ability to appropriately apply the knowledge and understanding of God’s Inspired Laws and Statutes in our lives. ‘Foolish’ is the opposite of wisdom. A foolish man is one who: is ignorant of God’s laws and statutes; who knows God’s Laws and Statutes but who, due to ignorance, misapplies them to his own hurt and that of others; one who purposely goes against God’s Laws and Statutes.
Who is the wise? Who is the knowledgeable? King David, the Father of our author is known to have said, The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. Can therefore one who denies the existence of God be considered wise? Can one who denies the deity of Yehoshua ha Mashiah be considered a person of knowledge? Should they teach us? Should they teach our children? Should we sing their songs? Should we consider their laws right though we have to obey them? Should we emulate them? Should we speak about them with honor, glory and adoration? Should we exemplify them to our children?
Under the leading of foolish ungodly men and women our world is not nearing destruction; it is destroyed. True faith in the God who created us is destroyed and replaced by religion. God’s model of family structure is destroyed and replaced by biology and emotions. Dedication, loyalty and self-sacrifice for God are destroyed and replaced by dedication and loyalty to self-pleasuring and gratification. God himself in the eyes of man has been destroyed and replaced by idolatrous mind-representations that are contrary to Him and his sense of love and justice.
May God help us. May God help us to follow and emulate wise men and women who are able to show us the way back to God, and to His Laws and Statutes. We have gotten so smart that we have forgotten them. We thought we knew the way but instead we got lost.
There is hope to find the way back though: careful exegetical study of the Word; true hunger for righteousness; unequivocal desire for the truth, all mixed with the tears of desperation for closeness to God is the unfailing recipe to get us out of the confusing theological mud of today.
