Wisdom Justified Scripture: Luke 7:35 “But wisdom is justified by all her children.” NKJV Discussion: The world is full of “experts.” There are people everywhere who want to convince you of the wisdom of their opinion. Yet, God says that it is not the one who declares his viewpoint the most loudly or vociferously who is the wisest, but the one who is vindicated over time. Wisdom is not proven by argument or debate. Wisdom is proven over time. Some people adamantly proclaim that their opinion is best. Regardless of convincingly these people defend their viewpoint, time is the best judge of their wisdom. The result of a practice proves is validity, not how loudly it is promoted. When you seek to obey what God has told you, you will sometimes meet resistance and criticism from others who disagree with the wisdom of your actions. Your immediate response may be to vindicate yourself. However, if you wait patiently, time will reveal the wisdom of your actions far better than you could through argument. Through the ages, wisdom found in Gods Word has been tested and proven true. It is critical that you measure everything you hear against the Scriptures. Trends in psychology and philosophy come and go, but Gods Word is timeless. Whenever you share an opinion in counseling someone else, make sure that it comes from the Scripture, and not merely from your best thinking. As long as you base your life choices on the Word of God, time will be your defender and will validate the wisdom of your choices. If, over time, you clearly see you are wrong, ask Gods forgiveness and seek a fresh Word from God through the Scripture. Then obey that Word, and watch to see God confirm His wisdom in your life.
