Thirty Sayings of the Wise-Saying 26

Many of us love the taste of honey. It is sweet and delicious, and we love to add it to everything. We add it to tea, to desserts, and even our sandwiches. (maybe that is just me) The Bible makes a simile between honey and wisdom. Saying 26 goes, "Eat honey, my son, for it is good; honey from the comb is sweet to your taste. Know also that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future and a hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off." We all need wisdom in our lives to grow, whether it is school wisdom like math and English, or religious wisdom found in reading your Bible. Wisdom is sweet and it can be applied to everything, just like honey. English is found in math when you have to explain your reasoning, and history can be found in the study of physics. The knowledge that we find can be applied to any part of our lives. It could be in competition in sport, or in the pop quiz you are taking in school, or when you are sitting with friends at your lunch table. This wisdom that you find will also give you a hope for the future. When you learn more about God and his character, then you begin to see the love God has for you and that he will never leave or forsake you. God is your comfort, your support and your strength. Wisdom is an important ingredient to have, just like honey, so don't skip out on the opportunities you have to gain wisdom.

Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the wisdom that you give freely. Help me to ask for the wisdom, so that I may grow closer to you and your love. I also pray that you help me reflect the wisdom that I have learned back onto the world so that others may be able to grow closer to you. Amen.
