Where Can Wisdom Be Found?

Everywhere. (That’s the answer to the question.)

Proverbs 1:20-21

Wisdom calls aloud in the street,
she raises her voice in the public squares;
at the head of the noisy streets she cries out,
in the gateways of the city she makes her speech.

So, I’ll ask again. Where can wisdom be found? This time, I’ll let Scripture speak for itself: “In the street…In the public square…in the gateways of the city.” Basically, all over the place.

Wisdom is not ONLY found in Scripture. It can be found even in.. get ready for it.. secular culture (gasp!). God created culture, right? He is the Creator of all things, even if we have perverted most, if not all, of them. This means, that at their core, must cultural goods have some semblances of wisdom within them. Yes, maybe you have to dig through lots of junk, but it’s there. Now obviously some bits of culture lack wisdom in and of themselves (pornography, tanks, etc), but there are many lessons to be learned simply by their existence.

If we cannot find wisdom in every sphere of life, perhaps we aren’t looking hard enough. Maybe we’ve put our blinders on and become arrogant enough to think that wisdom is only found in “Christian” things. I have news for you: everything, at its base,  is “Christian”. God created literature. God created art. God created motion pictures. God created food and automobiles and pretty much everything else as well. As I mentioned above, people have simply someone managed to mess it all up.

Wisdom can be found if we look for her.

She can even be found in the latest New York Times bestseller and last weekend’s number one box office hit.

Love and Peace,
Jeremy

    You lost me, buddy. I mean, I assume I get what youre expressing. I understand what you are saying, but you just seem to have forgotten that you’ll find some other individuals inside the world who view this issue for what it actually is and may well not agree with you. You may perhaps be turning away alot of persons who may have been lovers of your web log.
