A Reflection On Wisdom

When I consider the value of spiritual insight

Godly wisdom protects us from the self-inflicted disaster of superficial decisions. It keeps us from sacrificing ourselves to the deity of self-will. Throughout our lives, we must make repeated choices that will profoundly affect our own lives and the lives of those around us. The sooner we learn godly wisdom, the safer we will be. Wisdom protects us from futility.

We are given a very brief amount of time on this planet, but what we do here can have an eternal impact on ourselves and others. We must invest our time. We must invest our resources. We must direct everything at our disposal toward an eternal Kingdom. Without God’s wisdom, years are wasted. We make self-defeating decisions. We squander opportunities to serve God and bear eternal fruit. Why should we never forsake wisdom? It’s a matter of self-defense. It protects us from a world of evil, and it protects us from ourselves.

Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you.

Proverbs 4:6
