WISDOM ISN'T WISDOM UNTIL YOU GIVE IT AWAY

[MIRIAM JACOB]

Wisdom Isn’t Wisdom Until You Give It Away


You can get knowledge at any old college

if you study and do as you’re told.

There are books to be read.....that will fill up your head

with more knowledge than it could ever hold.

But there’s something called Wisdom you desperately need

and you can get it only one place;

Through a relationship.....born of salvation

and hours spent seeking God’s face.

For there in communion with the Most High God

you’ll learn wisdom unlike any on earth.

And you’ll know without a doubt you’ve been given a gift

that is priceless, of incomparable worth.

That wisdom you hear coming into your ear

will make you humble and teach you God’s ways.

And Wisdom will sit with you as you read God’s Word

adding life and strength to your days.

Wisdom will make you see the sheer glory of God

and His sovereignty in everything around.

And Wisdom will make you listen...much more than you speak

for she whispers in a soft-spoken sound.

Wisdom is like a jewel you will hold onto tightly

while knowing that it could never stay.

For the journey isn’t finished....and wisdom isn’t wisdom

until the moment when you give it away.

Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser;
Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
For by me your days will be multiplied,
And years of life will be added to you. Proverbs 9:9-11 NKJV
