Seeking Wisdom ≠ Accepting Wisdom

by | |
Proverbs 14:6:
6 A scoffer seeks wisdom in vain, but knowledge is easy for a man of understanding.

There is a interesting reality of the wisdom of God. In some ways it is so simple a child can serve God. In other ways it is so complex the smartest man cannot comprehend it. It is simultaneously shallow and deep. As I said in the very first post on this blog, we are all to search for wisdom. However, there has been a recurring theme that it takes wisdom to desire wisdom and wisdom to listen to wisdom. There is a momentum that comes with Godliness (and ungodliness). It's clear that even though wisdom is offered to all, it is not truly sought out by all. For some, those that God has come alongside, it is easy, for others,who have resisted discipline, it is an impossible task.
