Proverbs!

My child, 

eat honey, 

for it is good, 

and the honeycomb is sweet to the taste. 

In the same way, 

wisdom is sweet to your soul. 

If you find it, 

you will have a bright future,

and your hopes will not be cut short.

Proverbs 24:13-14 NLT

I harvest my honey straight out of the pantry, but what if I had to go and find it?

Search for it.

Find a way to extract it without getting stung.

In our modern world it's almost like a lot of wisdom is right there available with a few clicks...or is it?

Does wisdom = information?

Knowledge?

Does wisdom = what someone else has learned?

Their experience?

Today I read an article about living more simply written by someone who experimented by wearing the same clothes for 100 days. She shared what she had learned. 

I gained some wisdom from reading her story, but not as much as if I lived it out. 

This proverb was written in a world where sweetness was hard to find, where the goodness of the honeycomb was not readily available, it took searching and finding and savouring. 

Wisdom is like that. 

It can be hard to find.

Wisdom is full of goodness for us and should be savoured, and we may have to climb a tree and avoid some bees to get to it, but searching for the goodness of wisdom and savouring it in our life is what this proverb encourages.
