My soul clings to you,Your right hand upholds me.
A big step in becoming wise is to realize that the world view that we have held on to far so long is messed up. We must come to realize that we are not wise. It is human nature to fear insignificance, to want to be the one who has it all together, to be the one with wisdom. But the fact is we aren’t wise. And none of us have it together. This happened at the fall when we believed that disobeying God’s command would bring us wisdom and help us to determine “good and evil”. We took the reins and decided we understood the world we lived in.
Are your conversations about your worth? If you are fighting for significance, to be worth something, to be right, to have it all together . . . you have already failed and have become foolish. Wisdom is not found in ourselves. The beginning of wisdom is to fear the LORD. In dying, we find life. We were not made to find our own way, nor to be alone. We were made to be in a loving relationship with God. And in looking to Jesus, we know Truth, for truth and wisdom is found in a person. So let us reject our foolish attempts for glory and self-wisdom and accept what Jesus did for us at the cross and run into the loving arms of Jesus.
