Prayer the secret of power:

True inner peace comes from embracing life's uncertainties with a heart full of faith and a spirit committed to growth and understanding."

Through resilience, we turn obstacles into opportunities and setbacks into stepping stones on the path to personal growth and fulfillment."

It is in these moments of heartfelt connection with the divine that we find solace, as we pour out our burdens and receive a sense of calm and reassurance.

The Importance of Wisdom


Many search for wisdom, some through their experiences, others through books some through the lives of others, but what does the word of God tells us about wisdom.


Let us examine God's will as it relates to wisdom and strive to accomplish this in our life.


In the book of Proverbs we are told that if we accept the words of the Lord and store up all his commands within us, and apply it to our lives, crying out to Him for understanding, looking for it as for silver, searching for it as for hidden treasure, then we will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God which is true wisdom. {Proverbs 2}

To fear the Lord is understanding which is the beginning of wisdom. Perceiving the words of understanding, and receiving instruction in justice, discretion and learning all of which contributes to wisdom. {Proverbs 2}

Wisdom also becomes a protection to those who seek it. It saves us from the ways of wicked men, because it instruct us on how to walk, allowing us to make wise choices in those whom we associate with.  This includes people who delight in doing wrong and rejoices in the perverseness of evil, those whose path are crooked and who are devious in their ways. {Proverbs 2}


Are you a wise person? Do you consider the way of wisdom and yearn to follow it?

THE WISDOM OF MAN


Daily Inspiration

Henri Rousseau Seine und Eiffelturm in
der Abendsonne 1910
 The way from passion to peace is by overcoming one'self. Frequently the man of passion is eager to put others right; but the man of wisdom first put himself right. If any desire truth in their inner being; they must know wisdom in their inner heart, and only God can make that possible for you, hence it is important that we seek his counsel in all areas of our lives.

ADMISSION

 A man 
Isn't it funny how we always have the answers after we have messed up? After we have spent our years saving time only to spend it in folly! Everyone knows that life is a challenge as well as a mystery, one which we cannot comprehend and that is why we often find ourself making terrible mistakes some of which are so difficult to erase.

WISDOM: TRUE GREATNESS/LEST WE FORGET


There are periods in our existence when there comes a time for the need of affirmation. Wisdom therefore should be sought at all times. True greatness is seen in those who possess this quality. Consequently it is important for us  during these Interludes of our lives when we have to brighten the corners where we are. Ah! forget the attitudes of others, and focus on your condition. For as the clay is moulded and fashioned in the hands of the potter; so should your life be transformed in spite of the clutter of life’s situation.

How To Be Rich In The Things That Matter

Often we  find ourselves chasing after things that are meaningless, things that seem important today only tomorrow comes and they are not so important. As we begin to put first things first, we realize that there are more to life than material gain.  We find that our family, good friends and people are more important than things. Here we see Solomon reminiscing on his life.....


 " I thought in my heart,"come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good."   But that also proved  to  be meaningless.  "Laughter," I said, "is foolish.  And what does pleasure accomplish?"

From the joy of divine communion, Solomon turned to find satisfaction in the pleasure of the sense. How often we too find ourselves chasing after the pleasures of this life only to come up empty with heartaches, sorrow and broken dreams. As he continued we see he did everything possible to gain happiness.....

"I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly - my mind still guiding me with wisdom.  I wanted to see what was worthwhile for men to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

I undertook great projects:  I built houses for myself and planted vineyards.  I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.  All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind."

Inspite of Solomon's shortcomings the Lord sought to arouse him to the realization of his wrong actions.

"I hated all these things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.  And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool?  Yet he will have control over all the work into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun.

So my heart began to despair over.  For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then he must leave all he owns to someone who has not worked for it.

What does a man get for all the toil and anxious striving with which he labors?  All his days and work is pain and grief; even at night his mind does not rest.

A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work.  This too, I see, is from the hand of God, for without Him, who can or find enjoyment?  To the man who pleases Him, God gives wisdom,knowledge and happiness."

Solomon's conscience was quickened and he finally saw his errors at last the discipline of suffering had accomplished its work. 
Ecclesiastes 2:1-12,17-24)
