A higher IQ? Yes, this is so for the man of flesh leading himself through this land in the midst of devilish people living in their devilish ways as confirmed by Jeremiah a prophet of God:
"O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing." Jerem 10:23-24
And then hear the words God gave to a psalmist to write:
"Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.
O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!" Psalm 119:2-5
