Proverbs 9:6
Comments
Look at the character of spiritual wisdom, it does not try to blend with earthly wisdom. It does not say, ‘Christianity has got something to offer, so have other religions, so has human psychology, and understanding’, so that you must blend all these things together. We do not borrow from here, and borrow from there, and get a little bit also from the message of the Bible. No. Spiritual wisdom is not like that. It says, ‘Unlearn everything you have learned in this present world. Turn completely away from it. When it comes to spiritual and moral matters, human behaviour, it has nothing to tell you, nothing to help you. You have got to come as one who knows nothing, to a system of truth, to God's wisdom.’ Go in the way of understanding. Turn from one set of people to another, from one road, or way, to another road, or way.
Application
We have to abandon our old life. By nature we cannot, but by grace we desire and long to change. Like one who is enmeshed in alcoholism. ‘Can you help?’ he asks. He may be emotional and we may be unsure how serious he is. If he accepts a clinic for drying out, it may be a good sign.
