Wisdom from On High

Now that the government shutdown is over the debacle of the Healthcare.gov website is first and foremost in the news.



The entire site is an abject failure of astronomical proportions because it has not worked since day one. Now, almost a month later the Obama administration has decided to bring in the A team of technology to fix what is broken, but can they and why did it not work in the first place? We will hear many reasons and all about who is to blame and how the government bit off more than it could chew. Though much we learn will be true, there is one thing which needs to be addressed and it is the answer to so many questions of what is wrong in the world and why things occur. Found in Ephesians 4: 17-18 it is written:  

“This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:”

The short answer is there is no godly wisdom in the world and though many think degrees and awards denote the ability to discern the answer to problems the truth is true wisdom only comes from On High. This has been proven over and over again and now the world is in a downward spiral and where one wrong decision could collapse our national economy. In their foolhardy attempt to take over the private sector the government may have just caused a major crisis because now that many are losing their insurance and an Obamacare policy will be more expensive to purchase Main Street is worried, and with good reason. Also after spending almost $650 million on a website which nobody is able to access it will now cost the taxpayer an exorbitant amount to repair or replace the system. At this point Barack Obama looks as foolish as the man Jesus spoke about in Luke 14: 28-30: 

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.”

With the promises everyone would have health insurance and those who already had a policy could keep it as well as be able to retain their doctor, we were sold a heavenly scenario by the President and his minions in the Democrat Party, it now appears to be more akin to hell on earth. Consumers have lost not only their health insurance and doctor, but some have even lost their jobs in an economy where there are few to be had.



Though it could be called an American tragedy it is, in reality, an American travesty perpetrated by the government upon its people and those who supported the ACA should hang their heads in shame for the thought of it in the first place. Yet, they still refuse to admit the error of their ways and continue to tell us it will be successful which is, in truth, utter folly. Then again, when someone walks in darkness how can you expect them to see where they are going? Without God there is no wisdom and it is written in Proverbs 1:7



“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

In a world where man is elevated there is none higher and God, who is the Supreme Intellect, must be disregarded lest man be shown to be the fallible creature he is. This is foolishness and anyone who knows Scripture knows what happens to those who put themselves in this position. In Isaiah 44: 6 the Lord tells us “I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.” Satan was the first to be taught this lesson and you would think man would have learned from his example and those who went before them, but where there is no Wisdom from On High one is devoid of any ability to comprehend that which only can be discerned by the Spirit.

To compensate for lack of wisdom man will lie and deceive and such is the lesson of Obamacare. Will the website ever work? I just heard it will be fixed by the end of November but can we believe it? Even so, will those who are young and healthy sign up at the price which they are required to pay? The first might be possible but the latter is, in my opinion, highly improbable. So what happens from here? Until godly people sit in places of power nothing will change and the nation will continue in decline. However, it can be saved but it will require the Body of Christ to awaken from its slumber and rise up in numbers and in unity to speak as one in Christ Jesus. Only we can bring light into the darkness and truth where lies have deceived. May God grant us His wisdom as we go forward to victory in His Name. Amen. 

“That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.4 And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.” (Col. 2: 2-4)
