Why are people making so many bad choices?
Current technology gives us easy access to massive amounts of information for almost any subject we can imagine. With the help of powerful computers, tablets, smart phones, and the Internet, it’s easy for us to become knowledgeable about subjects people didn’t know existed several decades ago. Most of the people we know have easy access to all sorts of information and are obviously educated and knowledgeable about many subjects.
With this being true, we need to ask ourselves, “Why are so many people constantly making foolish choices?”
People all around us are frequently making bad financial decisions. People have difficulties relating to others. Families are falling apart. Many individuals talk about being “stressed out.” We see the unhealthy results of those who are failing to eat balanced diets and are failing to get enough physical exercise. We are constantly seeing people all around us suffering the consequences for the poor choices they are making.
Again the question, “Why all the bad choices?”
I believe the reason, for the problems listed above, is quite simple. Many people have plenty of knowledge but they are lacking God’s wisdom. Knowledge without God’s wisdom is basically worthless. God’s wisdom gives us the understanding and practical skills necessary to live the life that God has intended for us to live.
What we all need is wisdom from God. This resource is available for the asking.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, …. (James 1:5-6 ESV)
Wisdom is knowing God and responding to life from His point of view.
