Inside of every man there is going to be found either wisdom of folly.
"Wisdom rests [silently] in the mind and heart of him who has understanding, but that which is in the inward part of [self-confident] fools is made known." Proverbs 14:33, Amplified
To have understanding means that you have taken the time to become intimate with with something. As we become intimate with the Lord, we begin to understand Him and His ways more and more. In that understanding, wisdom is bred. But the only way to receive that wisdom and understanding is to become intimate with the Lord.
The foolish man, however, only becomes intimate with those things that will bring him pleasure. "For the foolish person will speak foolishness, and his heart will work iniquity; to practice ungodliness, to utter error against the Lord, to keep the hungry unsatisfied, and will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail." (Isaiah 32:6, NKJV) No one is the focal point of the fool's vision, except for himself.
Become intimate with the Lord today. Begin the understanding of your Savior. Attain wisdom from Him who breathed life into you.
