Friday!

Proverbs!

When I was a son to my father, 

Tender and the only son in the sight of my mother, 

He taught me and said to me, 

"Let your heart take hold of my words; 

Keep my commandments and live; 

Acquire wisdom! Acquire understanding! Do not forget nor turn away from the words of my mouth."

Proverbs 4:3-5 NASB2020

If there are Proverbs for parents, perhaps this one could be at the top of the list;

It encourages us to focus on the heart of the child.

It encourages us to start early.

It encourages us to have 1:1 time with a child.

And it sets the goal for the child: acquire wisdom.

We're not children, so perhaps today the invitation is to spend some 1:1 time with our Heavenly Father, and to reset our goals to include, or move up the list, acquire wisdom.

Acquire wisdom.

I can hear some thoughts coming back; "if you knew what I'm dealing with, what's in front of me today, I don't have time or space for acquiring nothing".

So perhaps within all that's going on, may you be open to hearing the gentle invitation of wisdom, in your circumstances.

Aroha nui.
