Proverbs 28:26 Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered.
Does not this text imply that to live your life in this world while trusting in your own mind, is to not be wise, but rather a fool?
How then do we become a "wise walker?" By trusting in Another's mind. And by trusting in Another's mind, we shall be delivered from foolishness. Who's mind then shall we trust in? If you and I are sitting across a table from one another, both reading the same text; you read you are not to trust in your own mind, and I am not to trust in my own mind, how could I then trust in your mind if you are told that you can not?
We are foolish if we look to human reason as the ultimate authority. True wisdom is looking to the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ is revealed to us in Scripture.
