I planned to write about wisdom this week. I got through Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Wednesday night required another trip to the ER. The problem was taken care of, and we were sent home. Thursday, we ventured to scheduled appointments with oncology for scans and lab work. By the time the appointments were over, we decided it best to stop at the urologist office. The problem had returned with a vengeance. After waiting for about two hours, we were able to see the PA and again have the problem solved, but not entirely. We were sent to the ER where another hospital stay was required. My series on wisdom had to be set aside for the moment. My fears and anxiety rose to the surface again.
As I sit here this morning, I feel unqualified to talk about this subject. Wisdom can really only be found in God. He is the Creator. He knows us inside and out. He has compassion for the things we go through each day. He cares when it seems like no one does. He loves with unconditional love. He gives purpose to our days. He welcomes our prayers and answers them in His time. He will never leave us. God is wisdom. He tells us in the Bible, how to overcome anxiety and worry. His love endures forever.
Psalm 46:10 ESV – “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
“Wisdom can really only be found in God.”
That’s some genuine wisdom right there! I pray that He pours peace and comfort upon you both and that the end of your week is much better.

Hope it’s a wonderful birthday celebration! You wrote that you don’t feel qualified to write about wisdom. Maybe that makes you eminently qualified!!! Your post made me think of a Morgan Freeman line in the movie Evan Almighty. He’s playing God and says: “Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous?” There’s more to the scene but your post made me think of it. Hope it’s a relaxing weekend!!
