November 2, 2010 – Sirach 4

Perform works in meekness.  I think it is often hard to think of something abstract like wisdom as a person or material thing we should long for and love, but the Bible seems to do that a lot, especially with wisdom.  I think we are so accustomed to getting information quickly, relying on others to inform us, or just not caring to learn, that if we are suppose to have a relationship with wisdom, it is a very bad one.  When we get the opportunity to learn about something, let’s not complain and think “oh wo is me” but maybe treat it as an opportunity to reconnect with that old friend wisdom that we are suppose to love, seek, and hold fast to.
