Hey! Who is at our front porch?
Some things come into our lives unasked for--like goats and calves that get out of pens and decide to visit!
Other things wait to be asked--like wisdom.
You can get knowledge without asking.
Life's experiences will give you knowledge.
But wisdom is a different story.
We've been reading in the first few chapters of Proverbs for family worship.
God's Word tells us that wisdom is calling, knocking, wanting to enter,
wanting to be listened to.
Wisdom calls, sometimes gently, sometimes loudly, but we have to respond to wisdom in order to learn wisdom.
A friend shared this quote the other day:
"Don't expect wisdom to come into your life like great chunks of rock on a conveyor belt.
Wisdom comes privately from God as a byproduct of right decisions,
godly reaction,
and the application of spiritual principles to daily circumstances."
