Proverbs 1:6 To understand a proverb, and the interpretation; the words of the wise, and their dark sayings. 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
[C.O.L. pp 41] Here too, is the great cause of mental weakness and inefficiency. In turning from God's word to feed on the writings of uninspired men, the mind becomes dwarfed and cheapened. It is not brought into contact with the deep, broad principles of eternal truth. The understanding adapts itself to the comprehension of the things with which it is familiar, and in this devotion to finite things it is weakened, its power is contracted, and after a time it becomes unable to expand. All this is false education.
The wisdom of God often confounds finite minds to the point where it becomes futile to the unbeliever to understand the things He has done through His creative power. In stark contrast are individuals who believe in Him, for it is by us believing first, that our understanding becomes more enlightened.
Thus, through faith in the Living and written word of God, things that were once blurry become plain and simpler to grasp, so that creation is a no-brainer, for it takes less faith to believe God created the earth, than it does to believe that the things that are seen came about by accident.
Hebrews 11:3 Through faith “we understand” that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
