To Know Wisdom

“When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe man’s labour on earth, his eyes not seeing sleep day or night” Ecclesiastes 8:16

In his book “Hiroshima”, author John Hersey writes: “It was a stifling hot morning that August in Hiroshima, Japan. In 1945, citizens feared a pending air strike from the allied forces of World War II. Many people were evacuating belongings from their homes and making preparation for their safety.

Hiroshima was one of the largest cities in Japan that had not yet been hit, and most people expected a raid any day.

When the air raid siren sounded the morning of August 6, 1945 the city thought the attack had begun, but a few minutes later, the all clear was sounded.

Japanese radar operators, seeing only three American planes, decided that this was not a serious attack. A few moments later, the first atomic bomb used in war was dropped on the city, killing tens of thousands of people instantly. They believed that they were safe from attack, not realizing the nature of what was about to happen.”

Often, Christians make the fatal mistake of underestimating our enemy. He is vicious and determined, and if we let down our guard, he will strike.

The Bible warns us not to forsake wisdom.

In all that you do, seek wisdom.

Thank Jesus for His Word and seek His wisdom in the Bible in all your decisions.

“He is truly wise who looks upon all earthly things as folly that he may gain Christ.” – Thomas a Kempis

“Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding,
for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold.” – Proverbs 3:13-14
