Wisdom?

“I know of what it is you speak and it would seem like wisdom but for the warning in my heart” – Frodo Baggins

It’s definately true that I can speak many wise words, I can offer sound advice to accountability partners etc. I can give convincing wisdom when called upon. But there is something that makes it blindingly obvious to me that this wisdom isn’t mine. I rarely follow my own advice.

Recently, I really haven’t been having a good time. My Spiritual life has been rubbish. Now if it wasn’t me saying these words I would have so much advice to give and most of it would be pretty good. Why then can I not follow my own advice. Maybe it’s because I don’t want to?

It’s probably my human nature that is just telling me not to be bothered to spend time with God, praying, reading the Bible etc. It definately is my human nature that causes me to sin again and again which just discourages me and provides me with a reason not to bother picking myself up.

But I will pick myself up, or in fact I’ll let Jesus pick me up, and I will stand because we have a race to run.

So yes definately this wisdom isn’t mine, this wisdom comes from God. The only true source of wisdom.

Thank you
