It’s a repeated trope from Dostoevky’s novel “The Idiot” to TV’s Gomer Pyle and Maxwell Smart, characters who come up short in the intellect department seem to have unworldly wisdom, common sense and good character. Life just works out for them, despite their lack of insight or knowledge. But is that the way life plays out?
In real life knowledge matters. Ignorance gets us into trouble. We don’t have to be a genius to live well, but being “as thick as a brick” will not reward us. This Sunday we will talk about wisdom, where it comes from, what it looks like and why we need it. So if you don’t need wisdom, you might sleep in. But if your life is like mine, it might be smart for all of us to gather around God’s Word.
