No BOTOX Needed

 Happy Sunday!

"How wonderful to be WISE, to analyze and interpret things. Wisdom lights up a person’s face, softening its harshness."(Ecclesiastes 8:1 NLT).

Have you ever seen someone and thought, "They've had a hard life"?  Have you ever seen a person who is happy now, but used to be sad?  Sure you have.  You may have even said, "Something is different about you! You look younger!"  The Voice Translation says it like this, "Wisdom brightens the countenance of the face, and SOFTENS hard lines etched in the face."(Ecclesiastes 8:1).  No need for BOTOX when Wisdom is available! LOL!

Wisdom is "the right use or exercise of knowledge".(Websters Dictionary 1828).  Don't miss this!  Wisdom is knowing how to properly use the knowledge you have.  Hosea 4:6 says, "My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me."(NLT).  Knowing God is the most important thing.  Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."(KJV).

Dr. Bill Winston has a prayer on his web site that includes these phrases, "always in the right place at the right time, with the right information and the right understanding".  Read that again if you need to!  That's Wisdom!  That should be our prayer.  We want to be open to learn, and capable of using what we learn!  We should be the BEST in everything we do!  Daniel is a great Biblical example.  The Word says, "And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them TEN TIMES BETTER than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm."(Daniel 1:20 KJV).

Proverbs 4:7 says, "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."(KJV).

Love and prayers, Cynthia
