Discussion: Wisdom

What does it look like to live like God does not exist?

How would someone act who believes God is real?

“He who trusts in himself is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom is kept safe.” -Proverbs 28:26 NIV

Is it possible for someone to live foolishly, even though they have asked God to forgive them and confessed their sins?

Can someone who doesn’t believe in God walk in wisdom?

There is wisdom that comes only from God, and benefits us beyond the wisdom found in the world.

Trusting God requires the acknowledgement that we don’t have all the answers, and coming to God through prayer and reading the Bible are some ways to demonstrate our intent to walk with God and trust in Him for our direction, as opposed to the direction of our own will. Walk in wisdom and reject our former foolish ways, then help others to do the same.
