Reflection

Studying the practical, God-given wisdom behind 'The Fear of the Lord' brings us close to the secrets of Solomon's uprightness. Gaining discernment is worth more than refined gold. This lesson invites you to weigh your everyday decisions and words against the eternal commandments of the Creator. Wisdom teaches us to act justly, to seek peace with everyone and to place our whole trust in divine providence, which makes for a life of purpose and true dignity.

Applying it today

Today, stop and think twice before making any financial decision or firing back an impulsive reply to a message. Choose patience and discernment.

Lord of Wisdom, give me a teachable and prudent spirit. May my words build others up today and my choices reflect your eternal wisdom. Amen.
