A Wise Heart
“The fear of the
Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is insight.”
(Proverbs 9:10)
We need wisdom for
direction, for how to respond, in decisions we make, and so many other aspects
of life. There are so many areas and times of the day in which we need wisdom.
This is wisdom from the Lord and not man’s wisdom, which is foolishness. We
need to learn to go to the source of wisdom. “For the Lord gives wisdom; from
his mouth come knowledge and understanding;” (Proverbs 2:6)
Solomon is
considered the wisest man that lived. So much of Proverbs is written about
being wise.
Blessings come from
wisdom (Proverbs 3:13). The wise will inherit honor (Proverbs 3:35).
The opposite of a
wise heart is a foolish heart. We don’t want to consider ourselves foolish, but
whenever we are not filled with the wisdom from above we are fools.
A wise heart knows the source of wisdom and
seeks wisdom from God for all decisions of life.
What are some areas
that you need wisdom? Do you seek wisdom from above?

Thanks for this reminder. I definitely don't want to be considered as having a foolish heart. Could definitely use some more wisdom in raising and teaching these lovely children.
