Good Morning! Proverbs Day 9: Prov 9:9 Instruct a wise man and he will be wiser still; teach a righteous man and he will add to his understanding. So tell me, Do you think you are pretty smart? Have you got this whole thing called life figured out? Do you have all the answers that would make the world a better place? Do you know what needs to be done to make our Government run better? Be it state, county, city or this great big Country that we live in. Or how about the Church, I'm sure we all have opinions about that, otherwise there wouldn't be so many different Religions. I know I think I do sometimes, I just think I have all this knowledge that, if people would just listen I could straighten out everything. But you see that is the problem with the world today! Everyone has the answer. But the thing is, We don't know anything! We have forgotten the one thing that gives us wisdom, and that is God! Vs 10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE is understanding. It doesn't say knowledge of the computer, it doesn't say if you have a degree in something. It doesn't say that if you have all the answers. It says we need to know the Knowledge of God. You know today, one thing I am thankful for is that I'm in Recovery. Cause it reminds me that I don't know everything, or I wouldn't be in Recovery. And I'm sorry but I have some bad news for you. No matter how Smart you think you are, we are all in Recovery from some type of Hurt, Habit or Hangup. That is why I love the Serenity Prayer. It reminds me that I am only smart enough to change the things going on with me today. And it gives me the courage to accept the things I can't, like the Government, Religions, People or the way God does things. And that is what I find funny about people today. We all have our opinions about this, and we know what should be done about that. But how many of us are Truly seeking out what God thinks about it. I love to hear people talking about this world and how we need to change this and do that, and when they walk away from each other, Guess What! Nothing has changed! LoL! So today if you think you are so smart and have all the answers. Let me ask you this? Where did you get those answers? Out of the Newspaper, off the Internet or in some Self Help Book. Cause if you are not getting your information from the Book that has the KNOWLEDGE OF THE HOLY ONE, then you are just getting opinions and let me tell you opinions do not change anything. One thing I have learned today is that without God I am nothing, and without God I know nothing. And I may think that I am Smart and have the Answers, but if I am not looking to His Word for them, then they are just my opinion and as I said before, Opinions change nothing! HABD!

Are you as smart as you think?
