The wisdom of the intrigue



The world teaches us there is wisdom in concealing your hand. In this interview, Lebron can not honestly answer most of the questions posed to him transparently because it would affect his contract negotiation leverage and endorsement appeal. This wisdom comes from living in this fallen world. I am not singling Lebron out because we All fall into this trap. The trap of playing games with our actions and words in order to hold power. However, this wisdom does not come from God. 1 Corinthians 3:19-20 says, "The wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight. As it is written: "He catches the wise in their craftiness"; and again, "The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile." God asks us to be wise, but our wisdom is a heavenaly wisdom, and it does not originate from a sense of power, but it originates out of a sense of reverence for God. Do you trust him? Well if you do who cares what cards you hold; He is in control of the game anyway!
