Part 2 – Wisdom Says, Be Shrewd As Serpents

Wisdom yields true compound interest, spiritually. When we gain wisdom, Wisdom, Herself, advises that we use it to reinvest our gains into Her portfolio of riches!

“crafty” – from arum – means shrewd, crafty, prudent, cunning, sensible

Jesus teaches us that a good strategy is to gain whatever wisdom you can from your enemies while avoiding the trappings of their evil hearts. In other words, learn from their shrewdness and sensibilities and apply what you’ve learned to advance the Kingdom of God on Earth.

False humility is a fundamental tenet of the covert arrogant crowd. To suppose you are above learning from any/all circumstances is folly since it requires you have the wisdom to differentiate between good and evil circumstances in the first place. What it proves is that your so-called wisdom isn’t of the godly sort.
