Wisdom
Wisdom
“If you seek her as silver,
And search for her as for hidden treasures;
5 Then you will understand the fear of the Lord,
And find the knowledge of God.
6 For the Lord gives wisdom;
From His mouth come knowledge and understanding;
7 He stores up sound wisdom for the upright;
He is a shield to those who walk uprightly;”
Proverbs 2:4-7 NKJV
Walkway
“Who is wise? Let them realize these things.
Who is discerning? Let them understand.
The ways of the Lord are right;
the righteous walk in them,
but the rebellious stumble in them.”
Hosea 14:9 NIV
Mere Appearances
That towering heron? It’s a poseur.

1 Corinthians 3:18 NIV
Leaf
These are either swept away or burnt up.
“Do not deceive yourselves. If any of you think you are wise by the standards of this age, you should become “fools” so that you may become wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight.”
1 Corinthians 3:18-19 NIV
The Small Things
It’s fascinating to see their team work.
“Four things on earth are small,
yet they are extremely wise:
25 Ants are creatures of little strength,
yet they store up their food in the summer;
26 hyraxes are creatures of little power,
yet they make their home in the crags;
27 locusts have no king,
yet they advance together in ranks;
28 a lizard can be caught with the hand,
yet it is found in kings’ palaces.”
Proverbs 30:24-28 NIV
