Be Not Children In Understanding

“Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.” – I Corinthians 14:20

There is something in children that is both good and bad; endearing and dangerous. It is their belief and trust in others, particularly adults. Children (at least small children) trust us and believe all that we tell them. And that is good . . . if we are trustworthy and telling them the truth. Children believe most everything they see and hear. Children are what we call gullible and naïve. Children are easily influenced and led astray. God tells His children, ‘Be not children in understanding.’ Don’t fall for anything and everything you see, no matter how fantastic and wonderful it may seem. In fact, don’t fall for anything. Don’t be taken with, caught up with, enamored with, enthused with, amazed by, too passionate about, or impressed with anything or anyone upon this earth. Put no confidence in the flesh. If it comes from man, it will end up being wrong. If it is man’s wisdom, God will prove it to be foolishness. If man approves of it, mark it down, God absolutely rejects it. If the world likes it, God hates it. If the world says this is the way, the truth and this is life, then know for a fact it is not the way, it is false, and it will lead to death. All that glitters is not gold. In fact, nothing that glitters in this life is true gold. If it seems too good to be true, mark it down, it is!

There is nothing new under the sun. Men have been making fantastical claims in religion, science, medicine, and politics since the beginning of time. God tells us to believe Him and beware of man. Believe God and beware of man. Be skeptical of everything about man, but totally trusting of everything God says. ‘Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?’ Yes, and He shall continue to do so. Today’s wisdom will be tomorrow’s joke. But the wisdom that is from above lives on.

Be like children in malice (not showing any). But be not children in understanding. Be wise and be wary. Be wise as serpents, but harmless as doves.
