There is a certain system the world operates. And Apostle Paul calls it: ‘the wisdom of this world’. I am making reference to that system of the world headed by Satan. Concerning this wisdom, the Bible says, “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish” (James 3:15). The wisdom of this world is foolishness unto God.
The danger is that the wisdom of this world usually presents to you nice-sounding, common sense, savvy principles which appear very appealing to the senses. They sound like good advice, but as far as God is concerned they are foolishness. For example, the wisdom of the world says “the flu is in town so be careful when you are around sick people, so you don’t get infected” but the wisdom of God says they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:18).
As a Child of God, you have to be careful not to get carried away with the wisdom of this world. The Bible tells you to guard your heart diligently (Proverbs 4:23). Don’t allow just any information get into your mind; study God’s Word pensively and be full of His wisdom.
