To know wisdom and instruction; to perceive the words of understanding; To receive the instruction of wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity; To give subtlety to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.  

What more would a Father lovingly do for his children then leave accurate counsel for maturation and assistance?  We have recently forgotten the art of literary device and totally dismissed the use of punctuation to solidify a passage.  The Holy Spirit missed nothing in this translation.  And for those who have a problem with the King James Version of the Bible, let’s remember briefly the God we serve, please.  Do you think the Holy Spirit has enough power and authority to overcome any alternate agendas or evil machinations on the part of those who translated His Word?  Assuming that is that they have done it incorrectly?  The Power of this Word is unavoidable, unmistakable, absolute and precise in its reading, application and origin.

Wisdom, Webster’s says the following;

the quality or state of being wise; knowledge of what is true or right coupled with just  judgment as to action; sagacity, discernment, or insight.

So much for knowledge is power.  To be wise it appears you need the knowledge, judgment and ACTION to qualify.  Power packed words, that is the Living Word of God.  A Word so potent, so powerful, so intrinsically useful that it helps you weave your way through the intricacies of life.  So much for those who say the King James Version is some attempt to control, conform or transform the Word of God for personnel privilege.

Sapience demands the capacity to inspect, discern and decide.  Knowing something and wakefulness are related but so far away as to not exist on the same page of the dictionary.  One is a single dimension the other multi faceted and storytelling.  To be wakeful I must have action to demonstrate the truth of my circumstance, it includes the dimension of TIME, something with which God contends not.  So why would God make Words that are time dependent?  Because His Living Word is a guidebook for those of us who struggle with the component of Time.  We find it useful to know Him.  The fact that He wrote in a method that is discernible and specifically useful for His Children is another example of His Mercy, Grace and Love.

How is it that Solomon, who is widely accounted as God’s Penman for Proverbs could extend such wonderful advice for his Sons and then not follow those words himself?  Why is it that God’s Word is perfect yet we continue to fail at its application?  Wait I thought you said that the Bible is the word of man.  How can imperfect people create something perfect?  Oh, so we were born with the capacity to produce perfect Word but not the ability to live within that perfect Word?  Curious.

Read the above passage again.  Do you see any error, any indecision anything that needs correction?  No, so how can anyone say that the King James Version were just the machinations of an evil King intent on controlling his subjects?  It cannot be both.  Remember the Holy Spirit is God, a factor that we seem to have forgotten in the Churches.  The Holy Spirit has the authority and the power to select and influence every writer’s hand.  So I might have evil intent and be conformed to the Holy Spirit’s guidance or moved by His authority to do something other than what I had intended?  Curious.

I am the Simple man to whom subtlety is granted through study of this Holy Word.  I am the bull in the china room how is it at all possible that I could ever choose my words wisely, considering the feelings of others?  How could I express concepts beyond my own simple understanding to people who would otherwise dismiss them as the poor attempts of an ungifted man to reach far beyond station?  The Lord uses the weak to express ideas to the strong that they might see God and comprehend their own frailty in the presence of Almighty.  You can dismiss the messenger, but not the message.  Curious

Father, of some things I am curious, but not of you.  I know you, though I will never comprehend you.  How is that possible?  Curious.

In Jesus’ Holy Name.
