Once there lived a Millionaire & his son in Ancient China
The rich man told his son he need not do anything in life as he will be well provided for since his father was so rich.
So the son did nothing but to enjoy life and take it easy
One day his son met a group of friends and they asked him this simple question
"Do you know the rice that you eat. Where did it come from?"
The son replied, "Of course i know. I saw it in the rice sack in my home!"
At that his friends just laughed and laughed at his stupidity
Puzzled, the son went home and asked his father where did the rice came from
The father said, "Stupid question, the sack of rice came from The Store I bought. That is where the rice originated" And stopped there, thinking how clever he was.
Of course as we know it. The rice from the Store came from the Rice Fields which farmers planted
So like father like son both were stupid
Now Calvin's question is
"Is that the ultimate truth? Rice is from the padi field & no more?
If that is where your truth ends then you, too, are just as foolish as the ignorant rich man and his son
Look at the 4 answers
Where did rice come from?
Answers
A) From the sack
B) From the Store
C) From the Padi Field or Rice Field
D) From? See the answer
.90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.
91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.
You established the earth, and it stands.
91
They stand this day according to Your ordinances,
For all things are Your servants.
THE TRUE ANSWER IS D. FROM ALMIGHTY GOD THE CREATOR
This is what Jesus said
King James Bible (Matthew 5:45)
That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
If there is no sunlight nor rain rice cannot grow
So God created Sun & send rain
This is what God said
he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

You established the earth, and it stands.
91
They stand this day according to Your ordinances,
For all things are Your servants
Of course there are people who scoff, "I earn my own living with my two hands. Where got God?"
Now if no sun or rain no matter how hard you work it's no use. The pre-conditions for very existence of human life must first be CREATED BY GOD
Then They continue this day according to thine ordinances
Only the foolish son thinks rice comes from the Rice sack and ends there.

Now look again these words
96 I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.
97 O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
1) WE ARE WISER THAN OUR ENEMIES
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
The Jews has the Torah or the Old Testament & Psalm is part of their daily readings
When USA sold F16 Fighter Jet planes to Israel they further improved the tech of the planes plus they also improved their skills by play computer simulated Air Fight games
They were so sharp that when they piloted in the F16 War with Russions MIG
It was sain that in the Air Dog-fight battles when 50 F16 fought with 50 MIG planes
Out of 50 = 49 F16 planes returned safely
But out of 50 Russian MIG only only plane returned to base & 49 were shot down
See
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me
2) WE ARE WISER THAN OUR TEACHERS
Issac Newton used to say
More than that
WE SHOULD EXCEL & EXCEED THEM BECAUSE WE STAND ON THE HIGHEST WISDOM OF GOD'S HOLY WORD
See
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
Read again
FOR THY TESTIMONIES ARE MY MEDITATION
INSPRATION FROM THE BIBLE HAS BEEN THE HALL MARK OF WISDOM
WE UNDERSTAND FAR MORE THAN ALL TEACHERS IF WE HAVE THE ULTIMATE TEACHER = ALMIGHY GOD!!! AMEN!
3) WE ARE WISER THAN THE COMBINED WISDOM OF THE ANCIENTS
Read once more
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
YES!! Psalm 119 Verse 100
100 MARKS FOR KEEPING GOD'S PRECEPTS
THE SECRET IS THIS!!
IT IS NOT THE KNOWING BUT THE KEEPING OR THE "DOING"
LUCIFER ALSO KNOW. DEVILS ALSO KNOW AND TREMBLE!! BUT DO NOT KEEP GOD'S PRECEPTS
TO TRULY KNOW WE MUST BE DOERS OF THE WORD AND NOT JUST HEARERS ONLY
See
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.
105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Question is
Are we able to keep God's Precepts?
The answer is NO!
Why no? How come?
Because all have sinned
All men have a fallen nature
Religious men cannot
So called "holy men" cannot
Then who can?
ONLY THOSE WHO REPENT FROM ALL THEIR SINS
CONFESS JESUS CHRIST IS LORD AND SAVIOUR
ASK HIM COME INTO THE HEART
ASK JESUS TO WASH AWAY ALL SINS FROM PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE IN HIS SHED BLOOD
JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS
SHED HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD TO WASH AWAY ALL MANKIND SINS
AND HE SENDS HIS HOLY SPIRIT INTO YOUR HEART AND MAKE YOU A NEW CREATION
YES! ONLY THOSE WHO LIVE IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN KEEP GOD'S PRECEPTS
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

See how the WISEST KING THAT EVER LIVED = KING SOLOMON ASKED FOR WISDOM FIRST THEN FOLLOWED BY KNOWLEDGE
WISDOM IS THE SKILL NEEDED TO PUT KNOWLEDGE INTO PRACTICAL USE
In that night did God appear unto Solomon, and said unto him, Ask what I shall give thee.
From KVJ 2 Chronicles 1:
8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy unto David my father, and hast made me to reign in his stead.
9 Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto David my father be established: for thou hast made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.

10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people: for who can judge this thy people, that is so great?
11 And God said to Solomon
12 Wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.
By asking for wisdom & knowledge = the byproduct is wealth & honour
Many people ask for wealth & honour but failed to ask for wisdom & knowledge
So even after they attained great wealth it cannot last because somehow they do not have the wisdom to preserve wealth
SO WISDOM IS LASTING WEALTH
IN ALL THY SEEKING SEEK WISDOM!!

There is a difference between Wisdom & Knowledge
Knowledge is the acquisition of facts & truths
But WISDOM IS THE APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE & TRUTHS
MANY PEOPLE HAVE KNOWLEDGE
BUT FEW KNOW HOW TO APPLY IT IN DAILY LIVING
