Some pieces of cloud down on the valley side this morning, and yesterday’s clouds made for a pretty sunset.
From Sunday’s Lectionary, one of the alternative readings. It’s not in the core Bible, but something to think about anyway…
Wisdom of Solomon 6:12-16
“6:12 Wisdom is radiant and unfading, and she is easily discerned by those who love her, and is found by those who seek her.
6:13 She hastens to make herself known to those who desire her.
6:14 One who rises early to seek her will have no difficulty, for she will be found sitting at the gate.
6:15 To fix one’s thought on her is perfect understanding, and one who is vigilant on her account will soon be free from care,
6:16 because she goes about seeking those worthy of her, and she graciously appears to them in their paths, and meets them in every thought.”
Wisdom, it seems, is discerned by those who love her – and for those who don’t love wisdom? I contend they (we?) wouldn’t know wisdom if it slapped them (us?) in the face. Recent events and the growth of dangerous nonsense on social media kind of push me in the direction of agreeing with that.
Keep praying for America.
