Wisom and Knowledge

"Much learning does not teach understaing." - Heraclitus

Without the supernatural intervention of God into the understanding of men, all wisdom would come to nothing. For who would judge between Aristotle and Plato, between Nietzsche and Kant, or between Buddah and Muhammad? Who would say when science has erred and when the current philosophy of the day falls short of reason? It would be but man against man in an endless and fruitless quest to understand the world around and beyond us. Yet God reveals. I don't know exactly how this works out practically (for surely God does not despise logic and knowledge), but I am coming to the understanding that human reason alone will never come to truth.

These are the thoughts from my devotions today (studying I Cor. 2:4,5) and certainly need some further thought. I admit my hesitancy to post such things since I don't know who will be reading them and don't want someone to latch onto a thought that is still in formation (and reformation) in my own mind. So take it with a grain of salt.
