Because we are so prone to parasites eating us from the inside out, we need wisdom. Not the wisdom of the world, because the world offers it, but we need wisdom for godly living that will lead to prosperity and peace. This week at Do Not Depart I kicked off a new series about What the World Needs Now: WISDOM. Today I’m sharing the basics of the Biblical books of wisdom, because we need Wisdom for today … still calling to us. Full of parasites … we are desperate to listen.
Here’s a glimpse …
“In the times their words were written, voices opposing God’s ways called out from ancient streets peppered with a plethora of gods, but today voices call out from media screens, digital highways, steel framed cities and hand held gadgets. The tug of war for how we live hasn’t changed, but in many ways, the appearance of ‘righteous’ and ‘wicked’ has. Some may assume, then, the Bible doesn’t speak to life today, but Wisdom Literature’s concrete teaching matters as much now as when Job scraped his oozing sores.”
