To Be A Wise Person

Scripture – Proverbs 12:15-16: 15The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice. 16A fool shows his annoyance at once, but a prudent man overlooks an insult.

Reflection: What does it take to be a wise person? As I think of people I consider wise, one thing I see in them is peace. They seldom get rattled or upset. They shrug off insults – often with a laugh. They still are open to advice.

Sometimes I live like a fool. I still slip into the pettiness of life. I’ll get all worked up over things that don’t really matter.

Today, I’ll let God’s wisdom lead me. I have several things on my agenda. I’ll approach the day peacefully – ready for whatever else may come. Today I will be a wise person.

How about you? What wisdom do people see in you? What wise decisions will you make today?
