Real Wisdom

   I wrote in my blog on Am 930 the Light about real wisdom this morning.  I talked about how wisdom like faith, is a gift of God.  It is something that can be grown and used best with the word.  Wisdom in a nutshell is the ability to know what to do, at the right time, for the right reason, with the knowledge and information you have at that time.  It is life skills.  Solomon says that wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord.  Having a healthy respect for God is real wisdom.  Wisdom allows us to know that we have but one life to live and then judgment.  Wisdom helps us to understand that we must be about our masters business.  It helps us to understand that redepmtion and the salvation of souls is the most important thing.  Wisdom teaches us that the world does not end or start with us and what we want.  Wisdom helps us to understand that what we do here does effect our eternity.  Wise people know they are only one day from eternity and that what we do today will effect eternity.  Wise people know that love for God and for others is the greatest gift we can give ourselves and others.  Wisdom teaches us that God's purposes and priorities is what it is all about.  One last thing widsom teaches us is that when all have been said and done all one phrase is what we should want to hear, "Well done thou good and faithful servant, enter into my rest."  My question for myself and you is, "Are you wise?"
