Imagine how many decisions are made daily solely based on trusting your own insights? How many political issues are created by following your own “feelings”? According to this proverb trusting your own insights is foolish. Why? Because when you trust your own insights you’re not trusting God’s insight. There no room for it. God knows us better than we know ourselves. His knowledge is complete, it’s 100% fully informed, knowing every aspect involved from every angle. Our’s on the other hand, are incomplete; lacking the full insight. True wisdom figures this out. What the Bible means by walking in wisdom is trusting God, choosing what you know to be true over what you’re currently feeling. Feelings are temporary, truth is eternal. Our feelings can change, and will change when they are not based on God’s truth. Wisdom is knowing this and living accordingly. That’s what it means by “safe”; a peace that brings comfort, rest, and security to one’s soul.
26 Those who trust their own insight are foolish, but anyone who walks in wisdom is safe.
