 Utter fools! ~ Pearls from Philpot

What am I by nature? A fool! All my wisdom, outside
of Christ, is nothing but the height of foolishness—and
all my knowledge nothing but the depth of ignorance!

Left to ourselves we are utter fools! We have
no wisdom whatever to direct our feet. We are . . .
blind,
ignorant,
weak,
helpless, and
utterly unable to find our way to God.

All wisdom which does not come down from the Father
is folly. All strength not divinely wrought in the soul is
weakness. All knowledge that does not spring from the
Lord's own teaching in the conscience is the depth of
ignorance.

We must know the value of the gem before we can
really prize it. When diamonds were first discovered
in Brazil, nobody knew that they were diamonds. They
were handed about as pretty, shining pebbles. But as
soon it was discovered they were diamonds, they were
eagerly sought, and their value rose a thousandfold.

So spiritually. Until we can distinguish between the
"pebble of man's teaching" and the "diamond of divine
illumination" we shall neglect, we shall despise, we
shall not value divine wisdom.
