God speaks often about the propensity of humans to prefer their, “wisdom,” and the , “wisdom,” of other humans, to the wisdom of, “The Creator.”
It is the humble that inherit righteousness, yet many strut their assumed authority, indignant and critical of those that oppose their judgements. Which group do we belong to? Which group do we want to belong to?
Arrogance is ugly, yet some find ways to make it appear attractive. Intolerance is hateful, yet the most intolerant among us, somehow find ways to deflect their blame to those that reject their hubris. “Claiming to be wise, they became fools,” Rom 1:22.
Micah 3:9-12 ESV
“Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel,
who detest justice and make crooked all that is straight, who build Zion with blood and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Its heads give judgment for a bribe; its priests teach for a price; its prophets practice divination for money; yet they lean on the Lord and say, “Is not the Lord in the midst of us? No disaster shall come upon us.”
Therefore because of you Zion shall be plowed as a field; Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins, and the mountain of the house a wooded height.”
Does this not resemble the attitude of many of our fellow Christians, and Americans today? It is humility that will enable us to digest the great wisdom of the Word Of God, and properly apply it to our lives.
I recommend that every American, especially Christian Americans, watch these Prager U videos. They reveal political TRUTHS that are being cleverly hidden from many Americans.
