Nice

The bible is complete and has something to say in all conditions. Those who ignore the biblical views in situations of abject poverty and surplus supplies shall never find fulfilment on either planet earth nor in the heavenly Jerusalem. May God guide us aright to go after biblical injunctions. Happy Sunday and God bless us all!

You didn't tell us who is wisdom

For the record: Wisdom is a person and not just a subject, most Author like king Solomon referred to wisdom as she, but I will tell you that wisdom is CHRIST

Who existed before anything was created and share equal status with God Almighty.




Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.



And so, before anyone would enjoy wisdom that man needs to know and comprehend who he is...

I am CHRIST JESUS the word which God prepared to be revealed at the end of all time..

Without reading further, let me state my reservation on the number 1 "Wisdom belongs to the aged, and understanding to the old. (NLT)"

I stand bold to say that wisdom belongs to the insightful aged not just the aged - after all leaders are readers but not all readers are leader. And understanding doesn't belong to the old per se, but to the goodness proponents and practitioners - oldness doesn't confer goodness, ethical leanings does.

Thanks for sharing

I listen to the book of proverbs each day on iPod. One thing I can say is that wisdom abounds in the Bible

One of my favorite books in the Holy Bible is the book of Proverbs.
It has so many wise sayings in it.
And it has 31 chapters, each for a day of the month.

Ben Carson has been doing in for a very long time, according to his book, Gifted Hand.
