Wisdom is enshrined in an understanding heart; wisdom is not found among fools.

MANIFESTATION OF WISDOM
A poem and essay by ILMA
Where there is understanding, there you will find wisdom
Where there is truth and fear of the Lord, you’ll find freedom
Revering the Lord is the beginning of knowledge
It brings about a heart that is enshrined in courage.
Wisdom comes from believing in the Lord Jesus Christ
He brings us guidance and leads us to good insights
Fools do not have this kind of thoughts, they cannot discern
They are blind to truth and have no use for care or concern.
________________________________________
There are many people today that do not have wisdom. They go through life without guidance. They coast along and follow the world’s standards. As a result, they live difficult lives and get hurt or inflict pain on others. I used to live a foolish life because I followed my own will. I was blinded by what the world offered and didn’t realize that it led me to a troubled and sinful life. I relied on my own understanding and thought I was intelligent enough to go through life successfully. I was wrong. When I became a born again Christian and started pursuing God’s word and his will, I realized how blind and foolish I had been. Wisdom is enshrined in an understanding heart which can only come from knowing God and his truth.

Lord, thank you for this truth that sets me free.
