Depending on ... Him
Depending on … Him
Proverbs 3:19
19 By wisdom the Lord laid the foundation of the earth;
he established the heavens by understanding.
Ecclesiastes 1:18 New English Translation (NET Bible)
18 For with great wisdom comes great frustration;
whoever increases his knowledge merely increases his heartache.
Wisdom where do you reside ... why can’t you be found?
You are concealed from all that live ... and speak without a sound.
At least a sound that ears can hear ... only a whisper of the heart
that by-passes the consciousness ... of the bright and worldly smart.
“Great men are not always wise” ... and leaders catapult on vision
but wisdom does not have to be ... a part in such derision.
Why is wisdom so concealed ... and who opens that treasure
containing sorrows and much grief ... in life’s hard earned lessons?
A mystery of mysteries ... in what God placed in motion.
It only can be found in the truth ... through complete devotion.
A deep hunger for righteousness ... the solid foundation
based on unconditional love ... through the Spirit’s preparation.
Jan Wienen
