Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar. -W. Wordsworth
Oh how hard it is to not let pride get in the way. To choose God’s righteousness over self-righteousness is a challenge some days because my flesh wants to have its own way. To let His will be done instead of forcing my ways and hoping I did the right thing goes against the Spirit who only wants what is best.
Concepts used around the word “wisdom” are usually; righteousness, understanding, integrity, knowledge, upright, just, peace, safety, honor, diligence, life. And so much more.
Wisdom is nearer when I bend to His will.
Wisdom is nearer when I listen for the still small voice which says, “This way”.
Wisdom is nearer when I wait for God’s direction, not rushing results.
Wisdom is nearer when I choose to live with integrity, knowledge, peace, safety, honor,…life.
Wisdom is nearer when I find myself kneeling before God first before expecting to soar.
