LEARNING FROM POLITICIANS

In this day and age it seems inconceivable, but you can

learn something from politicians.  Well, that is, what not

to do.

Like myself you have noticed that some of them (Most of 

them.) say something stupid every time they open their 

mouth.  Every time they say something, something dumb

comes out and they appear even more ignorant than the time

before.  Talk about a low I.Q.  Some of them appear to not 

even have an I.Q. at all.

What is the answer?

God gave it a long time ago through the wisest man that ever

lived.

A side note.

That wise man "Solomon" was not born "smart"  He did not

have an exceptional I.Q. or training.  His only "smart" thing

was to know that he was not "smart".  So he ask God for the

wisdom he needed, and God gave it to him in abundance.

The smart thing that Solomon said was;

"Even fools are thought wise when they keep silent;

with their mouths shut,
they seem intelligent."
(Proverbs 17:28 NLT) 

I am trying to learn that too.

SMART, OH SO SMART

SMART, OH SO SMART

For  many years I worked as an automotive

technician in a university town.  It was a

Lincoln Mercury dealership.  This resulted 

in a good number of our customers being

"professors" or "administrators" from the

University.

One day I was sent up to the University to

help one of the "professors" get his car started.

[I do not know what he "professed".]

I had to show him how to turn the ignition

switch all the way over to the start position.

Give the man credit.  It did not take him

too long to grasp the concept.

"Be not wise in your own eyes;"

(Proverbs 3:7 RSV)   

I know another very very intelligent man.

BUT, he can not seem to do the simplest

task correctly.  Perhaps he is too smart.

Of course, he would not want that fact

pointed out to him.

"Claiming to be wise, they become 

fools,"

(Romans 1:22 RSV)

I am beginning to thank God that I am not

too smart.

SO YOU ARE WISE!

So you are wise and act wisely.

How do you define wise?

What is wise to you?

Does you opinion of "wise" match up with

God's opinion of wise.  God, you know, the

one who gives you life and breath.  The one

we will all answer to when we pass on from

this life.

Consider God's opinion of wise

.

"The Lord looks down from heaven

upon the children of men, to see if

there are any that act wisely,

that seek after God."

(Psalms 14:2 RSV)

I'M NOT GIVING UP YET

HOW TO GET WISDOM

"How I love your law!

I think about it all day long.

Your commandment is with me all the time

and makes me wiser than my enemies.

I understand more than all my teachers,

because I meditate on your instructions.

I have greater wisdom than those who are old,

because I obey your commands.

I have avoided all evil conduct,

because I want to obey your word.

I have not neglected your instructions,

because you yourself are my teacher.

How sweet is the taste of your instructions -

sweeter even than honey!

I gain wisdom from your laws,

and so I hate all bad conduct."

-Psalms 119:97-104 TEV
