wis·dom ( P ) Pronunciation Key (wzdm) n.
1. The ability to discern or judge what is true, right, or lasting; insight. 2. Common sense; good judgment: “It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things” (Henry David Thoreau). 3. A. The sum of learning through the ages; knowledge: “In those homely sayings was couched the collective wisdom of generations” (Maya Angelou). B. Wise teachings of the ancient sages. 4. 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. |

I dare not choose my lot;
Take Thou my cup, and it
Choose Thou for me my friends,

Not mine, not mine the choice ~Horatius Bonar |
