August 15, 2021 – Are You Smarter Than…?
Proverbs 9:10-12 – Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost (Series B, Proper 15)
There is a tendency in all people to think that they are smarter than they really are. But we may not be as smart as we think we are. The wisdom of the world has its limits. True wisdom and understanding are as simple as this: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.” Unless we begin with God, then all our wisdom and knowledge, no matter how great we may think it is, will prove empty and useless. Only God can give us the wisdom that really makes a difference for our lives.
