From Ephesians 5:15-16: “Be careful, then, how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.”

Wisdom’s heart
Filling with light
More than being smart
Spirit’s peace comes each night
Wisdom waits
God’s strength shall come
Patience’s blessed fate
Marching to heavens’ drum
Wisdom’s trust
Shared from above
Faith rises from dust
Calvary bears Christ’s love
Wisdom thrives
Apply God’s truth
Choices breathe alive
Life’s depth replaces youth
Wisdom’s grace
Righteousness roams
Salvation’s birthplace
Heaven’s redeeming home

From Ecclesiastes 10:10: “If the iron is blunt and one does not whet the edge, then more strength must be exerted, but wisdom helps one to succeed.”
This poetry hits home for me. I often wondered why God waits so long to give us wisdom, but knowing how patient He is, I’m sure all the trials we face in life and the blessings too help to forge that wisdom as we go through them.

Kathy, thank you for sharing. When God allows us to experience some steps without His foresight, we will invariably stumble . . . then God’s light bulb will burn so brightly.

Beautiful poem and it speaks to the perseverance it takes to seek wisdom from God. It is not a “once and done” gift, but one we should be seeking daily.
