Wisdom is Better Than
Strength
“This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto
me: There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king
against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it: Now there was
found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no
man remembered that same poor man. Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength:
nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.
The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that ruleth
among fools. Wisdom is better than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth
much good.”
(Ecclesiastes 9:13-18)
Today’s Morsel: There are two
books in the Bible I feel everyone needs to be aware of and apply what is
written in them to their hearts. They are the book of Proverbs and the book of
Ecclesiastes. I know that there are those who may feel that other books
are more important, like the book of Acts and the book of John, but to me,
having the knowledge of the gospel (the death, burial, and resurrection of
Jesus Christ), who Jesus was, His plan of salvation, yet you don’t have the
wisdom of what it means and how to use it and apply it to yourself and others
can be useless to you and others as well. Solomon says that wisdom is better
than strength. Why be strong physically and weak spiritual and
mentally? Why be strong physically, and weak morally, ethically,
honorably, decently, honestly, and justly? You don’t need strength to
defeat your enemy, you need wisdom. Wisdom is better than weapons of war.
Sing: Deeper, deeper, in the love of Jesus
daily let me go. Higher, higher in the school of wisdom, more of grace to
know.
O’ deeper yet I pray, and higher every day; and wiser,
blessed Lord in Thy precious holy word.
Thought For Today: Wisdom is better than strength.
