Reaching Others Through Kindness

Finding wisdom is not for the faint of heart?and few are the people that actually understand its worth.

When Solomon became King of Israel after his father David, God approached Solomon with a proposition?ask for whatever you desire and it will be granted to you.  He could have asked for gold, riches, or a great kingdom.  Instead, he asked for wisdom and knowledge to lead God?s people well.

In the first part of Proverbs 2, we see the writer trying to impart the value of wisdom on his child.  You see, many will not pursue wisdom.  Yes, they?ll take what?s easy to know, and get a lot of information, but they will not go far looking after wisdom, for to know true wisdom requires work.

Sometimes you get more from your teller than your cash or deposit.  Sometimes you get little words of wisdom like:

If you get a lollipop from a girl, make sure you get one for your wife.

Interesting thought.  To me it brought to light the thought of the guy that comes home with lipstick on his collar– even though he did nothing wrong.  It’s not that his wife doesn’t trust him, it’s the question “did you think of me?”

So, in that moment where I got 3 lollipops instead of 2, I was reminded that we as husbands need to make sure we take the time to think of our wife when we’re out, and not just think about our kids.  Our wife needs to be a primary focus, whereas our kids a secondary.
