Since, as Solomon elaborated in God-given wisdom, “There is nothing new under the sun”, why then should we be expected to chase every “new age idea” as some life-giving epiphany?  Conversely, since there are no new ideas, should we be consumed by regurgitation of the eloquent few, those having been gifted by God to reduce complex thought to palatable content?  Is there a choice that allows all to feel free to ponder, build upon and embrace trans-formative ideals while remaining adherent to well-established, foundations of philosophical contemplation?  Absolutely, it has simply been obfuscated, confused and concealed in riddles, ironies and falsehood by an enemy who must avoid clarity as the only hope to success.  The answer, and if it bristles your sensibilities then you may wish to investigate the level of your misunderstood rebellion, the infinite knowledge of creation provided in the inerrant, infallible, Sovereign Word of God, the Bible.

There is no wisdom but that which comes from God.  Certainly, usurpers, copycats and hybrid thinkers have always attempted to claim that they have invented an idea, concept or science, which has not been previously documented in the Word of God.  The enemy has but one option, to convince everyone through misdirection, LIES or egoistic benefit that they have perhaps come up with the next big answer.  However, close investigation and review will always demonstrate that any idea may be traced, documented and directly accounted for in the writings of Holy Spirit inspired scripture.  Why then won’t scholars do the work of disproving this reality?  It is simply that to do so would in fact clearly establish the existence, sovereignty and correctness of the Word of God, thus disrobing their emperor’s house of all self-created and perpetuated cloaks of decadence and falsehood, revealing their sandy foundations.  Why subject ourselves to the untenable position of maintaining our own illusion, when the real foundation of the Rock of Ages is there to support us even in the world of temblors?  Pride alone is the answer, thus it is the root of all sin and humility the beginning to every salvation.

Just as this discussion of wisdom began with Solomon, we will end with another elaboration from those august books he penned at the behest of Spirit.  The beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord.  This idea has been confused, misused, avoided and prostituted by so many because it is a concept, which when understood, provides direct connection with the mind of Christ.  The Lord is the holder of all wisdom, He invented it for our edification, therefore He is the repository of every cogent and good idea.  Without the reverent fear associated with humble understanding of one’s created position, we cannot go to God in authentic request for dispensation of discriminative ability.  I must approach the throne room of God with reverent fear by first accepting that I do not make the rules of a universe which I neither created nor sustain.  God has said that the only path to His relationship is through the door of Christ, through belief in what He declares to be “absolute truth”.  We all understand the power of condition, the “if/then” statements of reasoning, yet we refuse to comply with God’s conditions for salvation, peace and acquisition of wisdom.  Try reading proverbs 2 and you will see that the Lord gives us the recipe for discernment, yet we neglect, refuse or deny this ready access because it requires “humility and surrender”, two concepts that are entirely foreign to the fallen rulers of the planet.

Lord, Your Name be Blessed as it should be above every name.  Jesus, the King of Kings.
