Reflection
Many people have wisdom but the wisdom of this world is much different from the wisdom of the Lord. How does God’s wisdom differ from the wisdom of the world? Spend some time thinking of the life of Jesus, how does His life contrast the way this world lives? How will His wisdom bring you life?
Wisdom is living well in the transitional moments of life. Wisdom enters into at many moments of life: on the heights, along the way, where paths meet, beside the gates, and at the entrance place. Will you allow God to bring His wisdom into your life and direct you during these times? How?
Oprah’s book list is great, Dr. Phil is intuitive and having life principles are helpful but what we really need is the heart of God. According to Proverbs 8 and John 1, God sent His heart to humanity in Jesus Christ. In Christ we have life. In Christ we have wisdom. In Christ we are finally fulfilled. Proverbs is a plea to join the Kingdom of God. Where are you in this process? If you are a follower, what areas of your life conflict with Christ? How will you learn to follow Him?
