‘Blessed is the man (the woman) who finds wisdom!’ (PV 3:13)
Divine wisdom is not available on earth. You have to desire it; you need to seek for it like ‘for a hidden treasure’ buried in the ground. God has promised to always answer the prayer for wisdom. Once that wisdom comes, you shall know ‘every good path’ to take. You will not go astray into the trap of the wicked and violent men. You will not be deceived by the worldly religious women who kidnap the hearts of their victims thru seducing words and painted lips. Wisdom helps you to identify and ‘shun evil’. This life style becomes health to your body and strength to your soul. You will not die untimely death. Your paths shall be simple, straight and bright. Wisdom is profitable for all things in life and it is pleasant and sweet. Wisdom is protection. Wisdom is generous, kind to its neighbor. It never says: ‘Come back later; I’ll give it to you tomorrow…’ when you have it with you.
The path of wisdom is not easy. Fools mock wisdom, thinking that its labor or love is too costly. Loneliness is a price to pay if you want to be wise. You need to love the Word of God and its study needs time. Other women may go shopping when you stay at home reading your Bible and praying. Of course they will think that you are not ‘normal’. But the beauty of a life of wisdom is that it gets better as time goes by. Your worldly friends will panic as they get older. The wrinkles on their faces will torment them ignoring the truth that natural ‘beauty is fleeting’. But wisdom in the heart becomes the mysterious beauty of holiness. Your face becomes softer and your words become sweeter. No cosmetic surgery can compete with that!
Just in case you read these words and you mock them, I am sorry for you dear sister. You can tear this paper, but you cannot change the word of God and the blessings that come on them who chose to be wise. Wisdom starts like a seed planted in the heart by Him who loved you first. Then the Holy Spirit and your tears shall water this holy plantation. At last, when you think that God has forgotten your pains, wisdom shall bloom like the rose in the desert and shall become your harvest of righteousness. Your words will bring light into the darkness, healing into sick bodies, peace into confusion and freedom from bondage.
‘He (she) who wins souls is wise!’ (PV 11:30)
