We all have done things that are foolish. But if we want to be wise it must be recognized true wisdom comes from God alone, that is it originated with Him, He authored it. Here is a collection of a few words of His wisdom, for our instruction and enlightenment. I endeavored to arrange them by subject matter. You can be sure we have not covered this comprehensively for His Word has much more truth to reveal to us.
