A wise outlook, plan, or course of action. 5. Wisdom Bible. Wisdom of Solomon. As I draw closer to God I realise wisdom vs foolishness. Where things I once thought were ok or of a second nature are now not as good or fulfilling. I have also come to understand foolish is only being unwise or doing something other than the right or best option. We have been given choice and two options wisdom or foolishness. At least that is what is on my heart as of now. When I bought my NIV bible I opened it up unkowingly to the chapter we had read literally a few days prior in sojourn. So needless to say it has had an impact on my christian life as well as was the omen, the sign I was to buy that bible. Come and eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed. Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of understanding. (Proverbs 9:5-6 NIV) This is such a wild verse. Easier said than done but it is one that has brought me a direction and one of comfort. posted by Tom at 1:46 PM 0 Comments: Post a Comment << Home

Smooth let it be or rough, It will be still the best; Winding or straight, it leads Right onward to Thy rest. I dare not choose my lot; I would not, if I might; Choose Thou for me, my God, So I shall walk aright. Take Thou my cup, and it With joy or sorrow fill, As best to Thee may seem; Choose Thou my good and ill. Choose Thou for me my friends, My sickness or my health; Choose Thou my cares for me My poverty or wealth. The kingdom that I seek Is Thine: so let the way That leads to it be Thine, Else I must surely stray. Not mine, not mine the choice In things or great or small; Be Thou my Guide, my Strength My Wisdom, and my All. ~Horatius Bonar
