Your experience with God fades in memory. The glory of God is not so brilliant anymore. If you, as a Christian, can lose the luster of life when an idol captures your thoughts and imagination, think how much more the pagan idol worshipper will be in darkness. When one beholds the face of God, illumination occurs. Their wisdom is foolishness.
Men are the biggest fools when they think they are wise.
A self-image of a sage can make you the biggest fool ever seen. Be careful about thinking you are smart. Never think your enemy is stupid or you will underestimate him. Don t call yourself smart or you overestimate your self Be careful when someone else tells you how smart you are. He may be trying to con you.
