Scripture for Meditation Proverbs 3:9-12 NRSVA 13 Happy are those who find wisdom, and those who get understanding, 14 for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better than gold. 15 She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. 16 Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honour. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy. KJV 13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. 14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour. 17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her. and refreshment to your inner self. Reflection on Scripture: What is true wisdom? As someone who has studied a lot of ideas of humans in the form of advanced mathematics and physics I find the question of what wisdom is, to be fascinating. As I've learned about philosophers I find some ideas interesting yet it does not compare to the value of the wisdom of the Lord? I was talking with a young man who was really struggling because he felt he wasn't measuring up to what he wanted his life to become. I spent a great deal of time challenging his notion. He was looking for what would make his life feel like it was good enough. The reality is that there is no eternal philosophy of man. When we try to live for ourselves in our own will be eternally unsatisfying As an example. Solomon is pondering all the wisdom he had acquired, and even more curious is that his wisdom was a gift from God. And yet when he reflected on the truth and depth of his wisdom he realized that the only thing that mattered was the wisdom of the Lord. When we look at his life we discover a perfect example of this problem. God gave his wisdom, his wisdom became world renowned and he gained great wealth as a result. Yet as his influence grew, he allowed for his attention to be taken away from the Lord and even yield toward false gods. And then the end of his life was tipified with disappointment and failure. The only success he found in life was by learning the wisdom of God. What would God's wisdom move you toward in your life? What challenge or struggle have you been working through in life? How would God's wisdom change your perspective on it? What of human wisdom is not working for you and how can you incorporate God's wisdom in its place. Ponder on that. Meditation of Prayer: Pray as directed by the Spirit. Dedicate these moments to the patient waiting, when you feel ready ask God for understanding you desire from Him. Meditation of God and His Glory / Hesychasm: I invite you to sit in silence feeling patient for your own faults and trials.
