Welcome to the second installment of my 'don't be stupid' series. Today our text is found in Job 11:11-12.
11For he knows worthless men; when he sees iniquity, will he not consider it? 12But a stupid man will get understanding when a wild donkey’s colt is born a man! -Job 11:11-12
So, here we are basically told that a stupid person will get smart when it rains cats and dogs. Those are some harsh words. This tells me that you shouldn't want to be stupid! We should want to be smart. Solomon, the wisest man on earth, tells us "Blessed is the one who finds wisdom, and the one who gets understanding. (Proverbs 3:13) We can't get wisdom on our own, though. We need help from God. The wisest man on earth asked for wisdom from God. We need to ask God for wisdom. (James 1:5) It's as simple as that. That was the whole point of my dad's sermon on Sunday. Ask for wisdom from God, and you won't be stupid. If you're stupid, then there is no wisdom in you.
So, the point of this post: Ask for wisdom, so you won't be stupid!
