In the last two weeks’ Word for the Week, I encouraged you to become wise by reading the Bible. Interestingly, the same Bible teaches that wisdom is also attained by studying the past. Before we delve further into that, let me take this opportunity to thank our Worship Team for bringing us into the presence of God on Sunday.
Last week, we encouraged ourselves to read the Bible because it contains the wisdom of God which we need for this life. However, “chapter and verse” may not always give us clear wisdom on what we ought to do. There are circumstances in the Bible when God led people to perform completely opposite actions for similar issues. Therefore, if we were faced with those same issues, it looks like the Bible cannot be of help.
