Wisdom

 

My mommy calls me her little Coo Coo Owl (don't ask me why). That's why she got me this outfit with an owl on it. Do you know what owls are known for? A lot of people refer to owls as wise. My mommy must have a thing for owls, because she also calls my grandpa the 'wise old owl'. The Bible talks a lot about wisdom.

Proverbs 19:20
"Listen to advice and accept instruction, and in the end you will be wise".

Proverbs 16:16
 "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver!"

James 1:5
"If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."

Wisdom is priceless. It's amazing the amount of wisdom older people have. I've noticed in most cases, the older you are, the wiser you become. But be cautious, because the Bible also talks about being foolish. Some people live their whole lives and don't learn a thing! Being book smart is great, but God calls us to be wise. How can you gain wisdom? First, ask God for it (like mentioned above in James 1:5) and secondly, read your Bible! The book of Proverbs is a great place to learn about wisdom! Maybe some day you will have the nick name 'wise old owl' too!
