that energy down paths that are right
for us and others, we can travel many
miles and achieve so much. That’s
what wisdom is: using our experience,
skills, knowledge, and instinct to
make smart decisions about what
to do and say and follow every day.
When we get those decisions right,
our lives reflect that, and we produce
much harvest.
Thankfully the Bible is full of wisdom,
even for strong-willed hotheads. It
shows us how to focus and direct our
passions and how to take the very
best type of risks. And above all, it
always points us the way home to
Christ and to love.
the Spirit that instills knowledge
and Fear-of-God.
(Isaiah 11:2, MSG)
The greatest wisdom we can have
starts with fear of the Lord: respect for
the Almighty and His truths. Because
if we truly fear God (in that biblical
sense of holy respect), we need fear
nothing and no one else.
Oh, and don’t try to cross harbors at
low tide when you know it is stupid!
Isaiah wrote,
The life-giving Spirit of God
will hover over him,
the Spirit that brings
wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit that gives direction
and builds strength,
