Message
According to Isaac Asimov, “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” As Bible students, we all know that the fear of the LORD is the foundation of true wisdom because all who obey His commandments will grow in wisdom.
Unfortunately, wisdom seems to be on the wane these days because the present society tends to value that which is trendy, spectacular, and instantaneous and neglect wisdom, which is classic, unpretentious, and unhurried. Moreover, young people are entranced by their youthful audacity rather than the prudence of maturity. Yet, the human society desperately needs wisdom in our spiritual, secular, social, business, career, and academic pursuits. In fact, we all need wisdom each day: in our work, in our families, in our learning, and in our effort to be servants of Jesus Christ. As a young person, you need to know, not only how to do things, but also which of those things are right and will be fruitful. In Psalm 111:10, we are told that true wisdom emanates from the fear of the LORD.
