Ecclesiastes 8:1 How wonderful to be wise, to analyze and interpret things. Wisdom lights up a person's face, softening its harshness.
My Thoughts
I love this verse!!... I know I say that all the time... but, God's word is so full of wonderful tidbits of information that can just change us!!
This verse reminds me of my grandmother, my maw-maw. She loved God, she studied God's word all the time!!.. My Grandmother didn't graduate high school...I am not even sure of the grade she finished. But, that didn't matter, she was always studying upon what God wanted. She was always asking questions of the pastors that came in and out or her life. She knew all the Bible stories and told many of them to me as a child. She lived a hard life, picking cotton up into her 40's I think. She worked at plants, she was the mother of 8 living children. You could look at her face and her hands and tell that she had lived a hard life. But she was always pretty to me. She had this softness about her, when she talked her eyes smiled. I could listen to her for hours on end. The wisdom she handed out, lovingly in the stories she would tell were priceless. When she hugged me I felt loved to the bone. There was just something about my maw-maw, and I believe it was the wisdom she had in her heart, wisdom she got from loving and seeking after God.
We have all know people like that in our lives. Those people that glow, those people that you want to be around because they are so gentle in spirit that their mere presence makes you feel loved. If wisdom can make me like my maw-maw then it is something well worth seeking after.
