I've often thought about wisdom in pop culture terms, like Peter Parker's spider sense…. or the Force and Jedi…. the idea of always knowing what to do, always knowing the right thing, always knowing the right path.
But you're right about man's wisdom being a dim reflection!!
It reminds me of how in Star Wars, the Jedi literally had such a strong connection to the Force. And yet, they constantly made horrible decisions that led to their downfall.
So, too, we literally have the Holy Spirit, but we are also capable of terrible mistakes.
I also think of Solomon, apparently the wisest man in all of history, and yet his number of mistakes was off the charts!
I love what you say about the cross being the ultimate example of wisdom, (and yet it looks like foolishness to the world).
I always appreciate how your writing goes to great lengths to bring glory to God. I'd expect nothing less from you.
This is a side note. I don't know if you have this problem, but for some reason, any time I read anything written with scare quotes, I read it in the most sarcastic tone imaginable. 😂
Good stuff!

Well done, man!
Thank you, my friend! That is well said about what we normally think of when we think of "Wisdom." So true!

hahahaha Yeah, I definitely have done that. Like, "wisdom" translates to, "WiiiiSSSSdOMMMM"
Exactly. I think it happens the most when I read academic papers, 😂.
