As Comfortable As Our Favorite Jeans

Proverbs, the  book of wisdom, guides us through wisdom in all parts of our lives. Proverbs 31:10-31 is the summary of all the wisdom in the book of Proverbs. We get to see what wisdom looks like in everyday life. Wisdom personified. Wisdom in dealing with people we encounter. Wisdom in handling our resources.

When we apply wisdom to our lives our children trust us. Our coworkers find us dependable. The cashier at the grocery store knows we are honest. Our friends depend on our counsel. Fellow Christians know we are sincere. Our reputation gives credence to those who associate with us. Our spouses have confidence in us.

Wisdom gives us a chance to live a life without regret. When we use wisdom we do not have to apologize for words said in haste. We don’t spend  time regretting decisions made in moments of weakness. When wisdom is part of our lives we boldly stand before others knowing that we have nothing to hide.

In our busy lives wisdom allows us to be our best. When we are our best we allows those around us to be their best. Wisdom allows our children to call us blessed. Wisdom lived out in our lives give us value greater than rubies. While we may age and lose our physical beauty, wisdom shines from us and makes us beautiful. Wisdom, when applied to our lives, should fit as comfortably as our favorite pair of blue jeans.
