True Wisdom Is Crying Aloud - KNOWLEDGE OF JEHOVAH LEADS TO WISDOM

 Wisdom can refer to the ability to use what we know to  make good decisions.  However, true wisdom involves more.  The Bible states: "The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Most Holy One is understanding." (Proverbs 9:10) So when we have an important decision to make, we should  make Jehovah's thinking-"knowledge of the Most Holy One" -the basis for our decision. We can do that by consulting the Bible and Bible-based publications. When we do, we are showing true wisdom. - PROVERBS 2:5-7.

Jehovah is the only one who can give us true wisdom. (Romans 16:27)  Why is he the Source of wisdom?  First, he is the Creator, he has unlimited knowledge and understanding of his creation. (Psalm 104:24)  Second, all of Jehovah's actions reflect wisdom.  (Romans 11:33)Third, Jehovah's wise counsel always benefits those who apply it. (Proverbs 2:10-12)  If we are to acquire true wisdom, we must accept these basic truths and allow them to guide us when making decisions and when taking a course of action.

Many  we meet in the ministry admit that there is marvelous design in nature, yet, the deny that there is a Creator and give the credit to evolution.  Others we meet claim to believe in God, but they view Bible standards as outdated and choose to follow their own course.  What has been the result?  Is the world a better place because people rely on their own wisdom instead of God's?  Have they found real happiness or a solid hope for the future?  What we observe around us convinces us of this truth: "There is no wisdom, nor discernment, nor counsel in opposition to Jehovah." (Proverbs 21:30) What an incentive that is for us to look to Jehovah for true wisdom!  Sadly, most people do not. Why?
