The world is full of “wise” people by Elaine Davenport
Just ask anybody; the world is full of smart people. They have lots of information, but they don’t all have revelation.
By that I mean God’s special insight and direction.
We can’t move forward unless you know what revelation is.
A ccording to Webster’s 1828 Dictionary it is:
REVELA’TION, n. [L. revelatus, revelo. See Reveal.]
Recently, I was approached on a parking lot by a very strange looking lady. Without a word, she handed me a card. I scanned the card quickly to see what this was about. She was a gypsy, a fortune teller and she wanted me to come to her office so she could help me. I felt bad for her. I’ll be honest, I don’t know how she operates. I don’t want to know. I quickly caught her and told her that I didn’t need my fortune told. I was polite as I gave her her card back. I told her God tells me everything that I need to know, He orders my steps. I don’t know if she understood or not or even wanted to. I hope that she did.

I’m thinking that she didn’t. Too many believers don’t commune with God. They think it’s nonsense. They only go to God in a crisis. Otherwise, they “think” they are already wise. I’ve got worldly degrees too, but they alone would not bring me total peace in my life. I urge you to hotly pursue Godly Wisdom; Oh what joy it will bring you!

One of the greatest needs that people have, can be fulfilled simply and quickly. It is the need for God’s Wisdom. It’s the best way and the perfect way to do things, to handle things and to think about things.
The Bible says in James 3:
17:
3:17 But the wisdom that is from above. The divine wisdom imparted by communion with God is put in contrast with the false, sensual wisdom named in Jas 3:15.Is first pure. The other is sensual; this is pure.Then peaceable. The other is full of strife; this seeks for peace.Gentle. Not too rigid and exacting.Easy to be entreated. Not obstinate, but capable of persuasion.Full of mercy. Not unforgiving and unkind.Good fruits. The other shows evil works; heavenly wisdom is full of good fruits.Without partiality. Not a respecter of persons (Ac 10:34).Without hypocrisy. Sincere.
