A Daily Devotional About wisdom and openness… Job 32:7 I thought, `Age should speak;
advanced years should teach wisdom.' 8 But it is the spirit in a man, the breath
of the Almighty, that gives him understanding. 9 It is not only the old who are
wise, not only the aged who understand what is right. (NIV) Some people get wiser as
they get older and some people do not. There are children who seem to possess
incredible wisdom. There are adults who possess no more wisdom than a child.
Each of us has a chance to open our life, heart, and mind to God. We can all
experience the touch of Christ. When we open our life up to God, profound
changes can take place within us at any age. Tragically, some persons wait until
the very last days of their life to open up their heart to God. Most of us are
"works in progress" in terms of our accumulation of wisdom. When we
think we know everything or when we think we know only some things, we often find we know
very little. Perhaps the greatest joy in life is finding out how little we know,
how much we can learn, and adopting the attitude to soak up as much wisdom and
knowledge as possible as long as we live. An active mind attuned to the wisdom
of God can contribute to others in magnificent ways at any stage of life. |
