WISDOM IS THE PRINCIPAL
THING
International Sunday School
LMion for July 27. JM7
GOLDEN TEXT: "Wisdom is the
principal thing; therefore get
wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting
get understanding." ? Prov. 4:7.
Lwioo Taxi: Proverbs 1: 1-4; 3:
13-18; 9. 10; JlBM It 5.
The Book of Proverbs, written
mostly by Solomon, David's son,
is a book of wisdom, of advice,
addressed especially to young
men who really desire to make
the most of their opportunities in
life. It answers such questions as,
Who is the wise man? What is
the best way for an intelligent
person to conduct his life? Where
can one find dependable guidance
for his life? Does wickedness pay?
What are the results of wisdom
in the individual's life?
Wisdom in the individual's life
will result in the practice of in
telligent living. Surely, this
generation needs the . injunction
of our Golden Text, which de
clares: "Wisdom is the principal
thing; therefore, get wisdom?"
So immersed is the world in
the pursuit of material posses
sions, of personal entertainment
and the gratification of individu
al desires that in the mad race
to accomplish its aim, it forgets
the real vaules in life and fails to
use the intelligence which God
has bestowed upon it.
There are two essential ele
ments in creative living ? intel
ligence and love. The Christian
life is always characterized by
reasonableness and good^ will.
While there were people in Je
sus' day who thought he was
crazy, ha was the clearest ex
pression of the wisdom, the power
and the love of God. A study of
Jesus' lile will show that he lived
intelligently and he invites us to
share him in mind, to walk in
the trulh he revealed and to live
sanely and creatively.
After all, what is wisdom? Dr.
H. C. Moore answers: "True wis
dom is more than knowledge, or
skill or judgment, or prudence;
it implies"the highest and noblest
exercise of both moral and in
tellectual powers. And it has
seven prominent traits (James
3:17): purity which is chaste and|
sanctified; peace-ableness is
spirit, endeavor, and effects;
gentleness which is forbearing'
as to faults and winsome in doing
God's work; tracability, acces
sible. forgiving, docile, fruitful
ness, especially in acts of mercy;
impartiality which sees good in
the unloving and bad in the vene
ered moralist; sincerity which is
without dissimulation.
"Sucu wisdom can come from
but one source; it must come
'from above' like rain in time of
drought and daybreak dispelling
darkness. And without question
or reproach it is to be had for the
? ? ?
F?d a really good ration
and get all the 099* your
hens are bred to produce.

asking (James 1:5)." ,
Why is wisdom so necessary
for trie Christian? Again, Dr.
Moore says: "The Christian needs
wisdom in his duties that he may
know what they are and to per
form them; in his temptations
that he may effectively resist or
endure and finally conquer; and
in his trials that he may turn
them to good account and get
the most out of them. It is im
portant then, that we ascertain
the v. isdom we want and where
and how to get it."
The fear of the Lord is the be
ginning of all wisdom. In other
words, religion is the foundation
of all true education and no man
can be adudged wise who does
not love the Lord and serve him.
He who would be wise, whether
young or old will listen to the
words of God, as revealed
through His Son and His Word,
and will also benefit from the
experiences of others in the past.
Can we look around us, or into
the records of the past, and truly
say that wicked were ever wise?
If we would be wise, let us fol
low the guidance of God, as
given to us in the Bible, shun
ning the evil, keeping our hearts
pure and dedicated unto his ser
vice.
