Now, there is wisdom born of this world and there is Wisdom born of Heaven. So, when I titled this Post REAL WISDOM, we must also know that there is fake wisdom, or I could comfortably say empty wisdom that really yields no benefits for the one who possesses it nor does it benefit those around it.
In order to not offend all of you hardworking, responsible and law abiding citizens I will base this discussion of "Worldly Wisdom" on those who have set their minds to gain knowledge on how to make Dope, to be successful Con Artists, Hackers of Accounts, Identity Thieves and so many more lawless and unsociable "professions"...unfortunately, the list is very long. Gaining this kind of wisdom is not beneficial to anyone and it is definitely detrimental to all it touches.
However, Isn't it great to know that what we see everyday, what we read and what we hear about all to often is not all that there is? Listen to what the Apostle James says about Heaven-born Wisdom...Wisdom from God Himself...REAL WISDOM!
"Real wisdom, God’s wisdom, begins with a holy life and is characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable, overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not two-faced. You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor. (James 3:17-18 MSG)"
Final thought for all of the law abiding, hardworking and responsible folks mentioned above. If in your gaining of academic achievements, professional titles and prestigious positions in society...you find that you don't have knowledge of God who provides it all, then your wisdom is also worldly only; therefore, I must tell you that your wisdom is also empty!
