Subject: Truth apart from wisdom? |
Bible Note: Greetings Vintage68 - Pilate asked "What is truth?" (John 18:38) yet he was staring Truth (John 14:6) in the face. As I ponder this verse, I believe that David is painfully aware of his sinful condition and need for repentance. Truth can not commune with unrighteousness. Repentance comes first. God is Truth and wisdom comes from God. We are warned not to be "wise in our own eyes." Proverbs 3:7. Truth reveals and the wisdom of God instructs what to do with it. Jesus said, "Apart from Me, you can do nothing." John 15:5. I think David understood this. My thoughts. Blessings, mommapbs |
