It’s good to learn and discover new things your whole life. It’s necessary. And you’d be a pretty boring person, if you tried to go all the way through life with only the knowledge you picked up in grade school. But…even though getting smart and smarter is important…there’s something even more important. In addition to having brains, you gotta know what to do with ’em. You gotta get wise. Getting wise means you know what to do with all those brain cells you built up learning and discovering. Wanna know the 3 easy steps to get wise? Well, keep reading. I won’t make this long and drawn out.
The headline says: 3 easy steps to get wise. So, here they are:
- Admit there is a God.
- Admit you’re not Him.
- Trust Him to know what’s best
See how easy that is. Admit. Admit. And trust.
It’s so easy even a child can do it. Yet most people in the world can’t do it…I mean…won’t do it. If you’re one of them, what makes it so difficult for you? Why can’t you admit that something much more intelligent than the universe created the universe? Why would you not be able to admit that you’re not the one who created the universe? And what makes it so hard to trust in the living, loving God?
I’d truly like to know. Send me a comment or an email, and let me know why you would struggle with these 3 easy steps to get wise. If you’d like to talk about it, I’m here. And here’s a little rhyme talking about wisdom, and why you should get it…
Get Wise
Don’t drink the wine of violence
Or eat the bread of hate.
You might just get away with it,
But can you afford to wait?
Don’t push and shove the simple.
Seek knowledge just like gold.
And in so doing you’ll lay up
Your treasures manifold.
A word to the confounded”
Pour light into your eyes.
If you expect more than neglect,
Get wisdom; yeah get wise.
Get wise to the deceiver.
Don’t harken to his lies.
Keep commanding understanding.
Get wisdom; yeah get wise.
Don’t walk, you, with the wicked.
Beware the scornful tongue.
Let never part your loving heart
And live forever young.
