From Eliyahu

Consider this:

Mighty in the Scriptures? That sounds great, but who has time for that? Life is just too hectic, and even dangerous, to spend much time in the Scriptures - or so many people seem to think. They are right about one part of that; life has gotten dangerous. The whole world has been wearing masks and have been "social distancing" for a year now, and it has turned the world on its head. Millions have lost their jobs, innumerable small businesses have been closed, and many families are mourning the deaths of loved ones. People are hurting and have big problems right now. Besides that, the future looks bleak with economic woes, unrest and instability telegraphing unknown troubles over the horizon. Many are too busy looking for solutions to spend time getting into the Scriptures. Many of those people think the experts must have the answers.

Actually, bypassing the Scriptures to trust in the experts for the answers to life's problems is a grave mistake (wornout pun intended). Why? Because different "experts" have different answers. Why? Because they are all getting paid by somebody! Or do you still think, after all the evidence to the contrary, that PHD after someone's name means they can be trusted? Here's a news flash: so-called "science" is nothing but a gun for hire. Scientists may do good science, but they are at least just as likely to be putting a spin on their "science" that will keep the grants coming and keep their career flourishing. That's science today. What about all the other experts? Don't even get me started on doctors, lawyers and politicians!

Do you think I'm cynical? No, I'm just giving you wisdom from the Scriptures!

Here is what they say about the experts:

Do not put your trust in princes, Nor in a son of man, in whom there is no help. His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; In that very day his plans perish.
Psalms 146:3-4 NKJV

and this

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, "HE CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR OWN CRAFTINESS"; and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF THE WISE, THAT THEY ARE FUTILE." Therefore let no one boast in men.
1 Corinthians 3:18-21 NKJV

There is lots of knowledge in the world, but very little real wisdom. The problem with knowledge is in selecting what knowledge applies to your problem. Wisdom is knowing what knowledge applies in every situation! As Scripture says:

Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding. Hear, my son, and receive my sayings, And the years of your life will be many. I have taught you in the way of wisdom; I have led you in right paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hindered, And when you run, you will not stumble. Proverbs 4:7, 10-12 NKJV
