Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom is the principle thing, therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding. (KJV)
My Mini-Sermonette:
I am too old to be stupid!
Wisdom Was Expensive.
Get Wisdom at any cost. The lessons that made you wise cost you something- not necessarily money but: time, mistakes, heartbreaks, bad decisions, etc. Everything I learned did not come free. It cost me and that's why I don't move the same anymore! I paid for my wisdom, so I'm not repeating those same costly mistakes. I've been through it and I'm not going back! So yes, wisdom was expensive and I can NOT or will NOT waste it! Let the church say AMEN!
Ecclesiastes 3:7
A time to rend and a time to sew; a time to keep silent and a time to speak.
My Mini-Sermonette:
Silence is sometimes strategy!
Seasoned in Silence.
Life has taught me what to say and what to keep to myself. I am not quiet because I don't know. I'm quiet because I DO. I just don't say everything anymore. I know that my words have power so I have to know when and when not to speak. I move differently now.
Proverbs 26:4
Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him!
My Mini-Sermonette:
Not Everything deserves a Response!
Choose Wisely.
I am not reacting to everything anymore because I have learned to choose better. Everything does not deserve ME and everything don't need my response. I now think before I respond. Wisdom says when it's time for growth, I used to have no filter now I have a filtration system- it ain't perfect, but it's working and helping me make wiser choices. I am not who I used to be.
