Have you ever met someone who is inconsiderate, but doesn’t seem to be aware of it? Or someone who tells rude jokes at a party, and doesn’t seem to be aware that no one finds them funny? How often people are completely unaware of their own faults!
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes… Prov 12:15
But consider again. If the fool, whose faults are so obvious, is unaware of them, what lesser faults do we all possess? And we are blind to all these faults. But there is hope for us. Our faults can be replaced with the wisdom that comes from God.
The fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom…Prov 15:33
True wisdom comes only from God. It is not the same as knowledge or education. Wisdom is something that we can acquire, or something that we can reject. Usually, wisdom comes little by little, because we ignore the leading of God, but God can pour out His wisdom in a river, if we accept it.
The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them? Jer 8:9
