Wisdom to Carry Through the Day
My dear son,
As you get ready to leave today, bring wisdom close with you. It cannot be seen like a wallet or a coat, yet the discernment that helps you choose and speak is precious to your life.
Even when something looks appealing, consider whether it could harm someone. Ask about what you do not understand. Sound wisdom can give you fresh energy for living well and the confidence to make thoughtful choices.
Give yourself room to think about whatever you encounter today. A quick answer is not always the best answer. Treasure the learning that makes your heart beautiful, and ask me for wisdom when the moment calls for it.
With all my love,
Your Father
Proverbs 3:21–22
WEB21My son, let them not depart from your eyes. Keep sound wisdom and discretion,
22so they will be life to your soul, and grace for your neck.
A short reflection
The teacher in Proverbs urges keeping sound wisdom and discretion, describing them as life for the soul and a beautiful adornment for the neck.
