Ecclesiastes 9:2-3
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Even as he walks along the road, the fool lacks sense and shows everyone how stupid he is."
There is so much information today online, but which information is the truth, which information is from the wise? I guess one would have to understand how wisdom is defined.
In a worldly sense, wisdom is defined simply by experience, and by that experience one may have sound judgement pertaining one thing or another. In a Godly sense, wisdom is found in fearing the Lord, this wisdom comes from God by way of his Holy Spirit which is revealed through his Word, the Bible. This wisdom gives one a divine discernment, and keeps one from worldly folly.
We hear of such things as human rights, reconciliation, freedom of speech, and same sex marriage. In worldly terms these things are defined purely in subjective individual ways, which are intended specifically for one group of like minded people or another. God, on the other hand speaks of these things in terms of humanity, as in all people regardless of skin color, race, or creed. God does not speak to white people specifically, nor does he only speak to First Nations, Russians, Germans, Africans, Swedish, or Americans, God speaks by his Spirit to all.
The blood of Christ, poured out for all men, has provided the opportunity for reconciliation, it has provided the opportunity for us to cast off the chains of sexual immorality and addictions, it says that we can have dignity again, that our lives have a purpose and a meaning, and that is found only in Christ.
I am not telling anyone here, that they should get on their knees and confess and repent, though I would not oppose that, What I am saying is that we have brains, and we have a heart, and we have a soul, and in these three we have a conscience. If you are doing something in your life right now that gives you the feeling that something is wrong, or that just leaves you constantly chasing after something more, I ask you to just stop, and think for a moment, do not act impulsively, just stop and think........................
If you are about to become drunk, stop and think, if you are about to invest in a relationship that is morally questionable, stop and think. Listen to your conscience, the Holy Spirit, then act, this is wise, this is discerning what is right and what is wrong in the eyes of the Lord, this is wise and leads to a life worth living.
Blessings to you all
