GREAT WISDOM


Solomon was blessed by God with great Wisdom, 2 Chronicles 1:1-12. (Wisdom and discernment are the most consistent things that I pray for in my life.)

Many people read a chapter a day from the collection of "Wisdom" known as Proverbs, selecting the chapter that matches the calendar day of the month. After practicing this discipline for some time, I have continued to be amazed at how there is a thought of "Wisdom" that emerges each chapter that seems to be a nugget of gold for the situations I face that very day! (Maybe the Lord answered my prayers for "Wisdom" even before I asked Him...)

"For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority."Colossians 2:9-10

(For some "Humor", here are 5 of "Murphy's Proverbs"... )
1) Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

2) A day without sunshine is like, well, night.

3) If you lined up all the cars in the world end to end, someone would be foolish enough to try to pass them.

4) Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

5) He who laughs last, thinks slowest.

I am “in awe” of being “alive”.


The longer I live, the more I am “in awe” of being “alive”.
The more years that are added to my span, the more I am impressed with one breath.
The more people I have known, the more I value one “friend”. The longer I live, the more I love God! I feel more “alive” when I reflect that in this present moment…because He lives, I am alive!
