Good Morning World!
Here is a thought, which came to mind while reading Proverbs: Are you making your father glad? The scripture reads like this, "A wise son makes a glad father." So, I ask the question again. Are you making a glad father? Are you a wise son, or at least trying to be? Or, are you one of the many foolish sons out there who don't have respect for anything? Society seems to be falling apart at the seams, and I believe it is because we don't have children with wisdom.
What is wisdom? Basically, wisdom is this. The ability to understand what is going on around you, and then having the fortitude to act appropriately. Many people have understanding, but don't know what to do. Most people have action, but they don't have a clue what is going on, or why people look at them strange. Wisdom is an equal mix of understanding and action mixed with the salt of experience. I truly believe that wisdom is developed within a person who is willing to learn. Learn not just book smarts, but learn life lessons. Are you willing to learn from other people's mistakes or do you have to learn everything the hard way - by yourself in the school of hard knocks?
This morning let's try on wisdom, understanding and the knowledge to do what is right. Let us not put on the clothing of the lazy, rude, crude or ignorant. Rather let us wake up, smell the coffee and look around to what is going on around us. If you for one moment start looking at life with other people in mind rather than just yourself you will find there is a great big world out there that can be discovered! Have a little wisdom! Make your dad proud!
Yours for Christ,
Pastor Fred
