RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WISDOM
Ecclesiastes 7:16
Do not be overly righteous,
Nor be overly wise,
Lest you be confounded.
Personal Challenge
Righteousness and wisdom come from our Lord. They are given to us as a result of living humble and submissive lives before our Lord and loving our neighbor as Jesus loves us. When we start adding our own attempts to appear righteous or to gain much knowledge in the pursuit of wisdom, then we take the risk of becoming like the Pharisees and be overly righteous and wise. This is what sets us up for a fall in our lives. This is because we have become dependent upon ourselves and not on God. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner?
