Wisdom Calls

Wisdom Calls

God is with you.

His wisdom is available to you.

Today there will be a lesson.

A chance to learn something.

An opportunity for wisdom and growth.

It might be a hard lesson.

Sadness.

Fear.

Illness.

Loneliness.

It might be a gentle lesson.

Loving others.

Being kind.

Accepting gifts.

Letting go.

We do not know what will come today.

But we know that God is with us.

And with each day and each challenge

receive the gift of His wisdom.

You are not alone.

***

Proverbs 1:20-21

Wisdom calls aloud in the street,

she raises her voice in the public squares.

At the head of the noisy streets she cries out,

in the gateways of the city she makes her speech.

***

Reinhold Niebuhr

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change,

courage to change the things I can,

and the wisdom to know the difference,

living one day at a time;

enjoying one moment at a time;

taking this world as it is

and not as I would have it;

trusting that You will make all things

right if I surrender to Your will;

so that I may be reasonably

happy in this life

and supremely happy with You

forever in the next.

Amen.
