There is a vast difference between having wisdom and being wise. It is the difference between theory and practical application of that theory. He said, I would be wise, not because he did not know; but, because he did not always direct himself wisely according to that which he knew. If you just look at how he married many wifes, and did that which was sinful in the sight of God, you will understand what it is saying more profectly. I think Paul was expressing the same thing, in the book of Romans, when he said: "For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." (Romans 7:14-25) No matter how wise you are, you are going to make unwise choices at times, just don't let those unwise choices discourage you after you make them. Just be honest to yourself and to God and to those around you, and confess and forsake them (that is repentance), and move on in Christ. Christ loves me enough to receive me just as I am. Christ loves me to much to leave me that way. Amen. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. |
