Proverbs 4:11 I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths.

Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.

On this Thankful Thursday I turn another year older. I am a year away from the BIG one.

As a young woman I thought I pretty much had life figured out. I didn’t agree with the statement; the older you get the wiser you become. Girls, did I ever have a lot to learn.

Today I realize that, in fact, much wisdom comes with age. Praise the Lord!

Today I am thankful for the wisdom of God’s word. I would be lost without it. Today I am thankful for the wisdom of God, His divine word for us and His brilliant plan for our redemption.

What wisdom has God given you recently about a situation or relationship? How has His wisdom changed your life? What is your favorite scripture about wisdom?

Have a blessed Thursday, Lynn

Proverbs 16:16 How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!

    I feel the Lord has been telling me to step aside and to let Him work. I keep trying.

    How right you are…that we all tend to think we know it all, but until we are open to the Lord, we really know nothing.
    Blessings on the beautiful Thursday!

    I would be nothing without God’s wisdom…My fave quotation I knew since I’m 9 years old is this:
    A drop of God’s wisdom is greater than an ocean of human intelligence..

    It’s amazing how wise I am now, compared to when I was 20. Wish I could go back and smack that girl sometimes for what she did and said!! The sad thing is you can’t bottle this wisdom, or really pass it on to anyone. They have to get it themselves.

    Happy Birthday to you.
    Wisdom is what I pray for, as instructed in the Bible. These last 2 years God has really answered my prayers, Now I have more insight than I used to have, about the motives of others, about how I cannot change them. It is very calming.

    You are so right about wisdom. The older I get the more I feel I have to learn, but that in itself is wisdom because it turns me away from myself!!
    I’m turning 36 in another month and a half. I’m on the downswing!

    Happy Birthday!!!!
    I turned the big 4-0 this year, and have noted the inverse relationship between wise and cute. But still, i praise God. 😉
    The wisdom I’ve learned, but not mastered is that of not giving up. Our society is such an attention-deficit, throw-away culture, that sometimes, it’s downright tempting to give up…on ourselves, our spouses, our children. But God never gives up on us. That both comforts and gives me pause.
