“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Tuesday; July 29, 2008

          There is a lot of talk these days about production; but, there is something even more important in life – perception.  While we are often measured by what we do, the real value a person brings to life is how they think ... in other words, wisdom. 

          Wisdom is a concept that most of us understand; but, how well can we explain it?  Centuries ago, a wise man identified the insightful life by observing, “He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; He who keeps understanding will find good.” (Proverbs 19:8).  In essence, wisdom is learning everything we can, then figuring out how it applies to reality.  Insight isn’t merely developing massive lists of facts, it is having the ability to take those facts and relate them to the situations that arise.  Additionally, wisdom doesn’t come to us by just growing old, understanding is developed by having a constant desire to learn all we can from as many different perspectives as is possible.

          In essence, by being wise, we might not make more money; but, we will live better lives!

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