READING Wisdom 7:13-14
Simply I learned about Wisdom, and ungrudgingly do I share—
her riches I do not hide away;
For to men she is an unfailing treasure;
those who gain this treasure win the friendship of God,
to whom the gifts they have from discipline commend them.

What exactly is wisdom? It seems this is a subjective topic. We refer to wise decisions, wise moves, wise sayings, but the quality of the 'wiseness ' is based on the view of the person making the declaration. Wisdom from God leaves no such subjectiveness open to us. God's wisdom keeps us on the path of light, rather than darkness. God's wisdom helps us to look past desire to need, past lust to true love, past greed to charity. God's wisdom is not our wisdom, and we really do not understand the difference until we have experienced it. Have you ever done without something you really wanted, only later to find out that you really never wanted it and you are just as happy without it? God's wisdom at work. Open yourself today to god's wisdom. Whatever decision or hurdle or yen is before you, stop and ask God for guidance. It is in these moments that we gain the treasure of wisdom.
