KWißas J Sunday School Lowon> Dev*u*aal Psalm God’s Answer Lesson for April 9, 1991 LIFE IS made of innumerable small decisions. Even in childhood and in second childhood, something has to be decided every day. We sometimes say that the Bible has the answers, or the

Christ is THE An swer. This is tru< for the great life changing decisions. But then are life-shaping as well as life changing choice) to be made. Wie dom is needed foi the everydaj small problem*

Dr. Foreman

just as truly as for the great once in-a-lifetime crises. Can the Bibl* help us here? Dead Ead Roads The highway department ha* two kinds of signs. One is the kind that says "Louisville 50 miles'* or •Through Traffic Keep Right” Such signs tell you exactly what to do, or to expect. The other kind ol sign is the one that reads "Dead End Road.” It doesn’t tell you much about the road, or how far it is to anywhere. It only tells you that if you try that road you will not get anywhere. Now the Bible puts up signs of both kinds. Take the question of wisdom, for example. There are certain books in the Old Testament called "Wisdom Literature,” because they are crammed with directions on how to be wise. But a great part of the wisdom literature (Job, the Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, some at the Psalms) is not so much concemed with How to be Wise, as it is with How Not to Be a Fool. To put it another way, the Wisdom Literature puts up some Dead-End-Road signs for those who wish to be wise. One of these blind alleys Is Money and another is Nature. Our chapter in Job suggests these. In a poem of moving beauty, the author of Job sneaks of how hard it is to find wisdom. It “cannot be gotten for gold,”—that is, you can walk into a store and buy anything in it if you’ve money enough; but wisdom is never to be seen with a price-tag on it. It is also gently suggested here that nature does not have the answers for man that man needs. Doing what comes naturally is a sure way to get into trouble. Hot In Robollloa In every generation the same foolish notion comes to life again, the same notion that (in the Genesis story) occurred to the first people in the world: that if we want to be wise we must kick over the traces, get out of the harness so to speak, break the rules, stop being God’s yes-men, throw the Ten Commandments into the bonfire and live by some “higher” law. The roads of history are haunted by ghosts of such rebels. People who do this (and we all try it some time or other) really look to .themselves as the sufficient source of wisdom. They may not admit this, but it’s true. Tin Fur Os The UN Fearing God, as the Bible usei this expression, does not mean being afraid of him. There is small wisdom in terror. Fearing God means reverencing him. The fear of the Lord is said many times to be the beginning of wisdom, that is to say Lesson I, the foundation ol everything else. This does not mean that a God-fearing man, just because he worships God, and honors him, will thereby acquire aU wisdom. Fearing God does not teach a man how to ride a horse nor mend a tractor nor cure cancer nor to select a school for his children. But the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, all the same. This means first of all that God’s will is always best and that so far as it is made known to us, it is utterly foolish to pay God no attention. The fear of the Lord means, further, something that saves us from fearing men. We bow to something, or some one, unless we are that most foolish figure of all, the self-idolizer. We bow to public opinion, or to what So-and-So thinks, or what we think is required of us to be respectable. We bow to the idol called “Everybody Does It,” as if a Gallup poll could find out what Right is in any situation. The fear of the Lord means that we keep remembering, all our days, that the last judgment, and the present judgment, and the only judgment that finally matters, is God’s, not man's.

tions which have honored God’s Word are the which have His blessings. The state will never be guided into ways of constructive peace and permanent development through society’s air and desire to better mankind. Reform movements, no matter how strong and efficient they may be, can never reform the state or the nation until that reform begins at the fireside. There is no chance for men to do, in their interests and desires for others, what God has said the father and the mother, the husband and the wife, the brother and the sister, must do.

chance to speak for itself. What God’s Word wants is a chance to show us our littleness, and the goodness of God. The trouble io we talk too much about the Word of God, and do not take time enough ourselves, as Christians, to let the Word of God talk to us. Let us read our Bible daily and govern our homes by its instructions that our homes may have the blessings of God daily.
