My son, do not let wisdom and understanding out of your sight,
preserve sound judgment and discretion
Solomon explains that wisdom comes from God. Wisdom speaks as God's will is revealed, but many don't listen. We suffer the natural consequences of our lapses, when we could have avoided the whole catastrophe. If we are aware of and follow the voice of God, we live our ultimate life.
This seems pretty deep and pretty simple at the same time. If only life didn't intervene, with all its demands and distractions, maybe we could fulfill God's vision. But maybe life is more the journey than the destination. And keeping wisdom and understanding in sight while juggling other tasks may be the real purpose of this world.
Prayer: Lord, guide me to keep Your will in my sight each day, even with the distraction of daily life. I believe that You have the answers. Help me to see them.
Amen
