“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; July 21, 2008

          Whoever said that springtime is when young men’s fancies turned to romance, didn’t really understand the depth of the issue.  You see, with most young men I know, the pursuit of the fairer sex isn’t limited to a season, a year or even a high school career.  When I was younger, like most young men I know, thinking about girls wasn’t a hobby, it was a fulltime job!

         The point to this observation about boys and girls is to highlight a literary style used by Solomon in the book of Proverbs to describe mankind’s pursuit of wisdom.  When the sage wrote about the righteous person’s desire for wisdom he compared its allure to that of a young maiden.  In fact, he parallels wisdom’s appeal to that of a young lass when he observes, “She is more precious than jewels; And nothing you desire compares with her.”  (Proverbs 3:15).

         How important is wisdom to us?  When we lose our zeal to become wise, let’s take the time to follow a young man whose been smitten by a young lady and it should come back to us pretty quickly. 

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
