Wisdom

At church on Sunday the curate gave an excellent talk about Proverbs Chapter 3. This chapter is all about wisdom, like many of the chapters of the book.


The chapter has three themes which I have real resonance for all of us:


Wisdom is beneficial.
Wisdom allows you to think about decisions in the long term, not just the short term. Discipline is something that is painful in the short term but has a benefit in the long term.


Wisdom is valuable.
The long term effects of having wisdom are priceless. It allows you to weigh up decisions and make the right choice.


Wisdom is practical.
Having wisdom will allows you to make a difference.
