Wisdom:

. . . you can't rollerskate in buffalo herd.   Last night one of the small groups at my church sponsored an evening around the campfire.  The weather was such that except for those roasting marshmallows for s'mores everyone stayed well back from the fire.  It was a nice gathering, though.  Our purpose was to pass wisdom from the older generation to the younger. Between times when some of our seniors took opportunity to articulate some lessons learned--some learned in the school of hard-knocks, and others a day late--we had times of singing.  Old favorites like "Amazing Grace" pointed us to the fount of all wisdom (Proverbs 9:10).  Some of the songs were far less serious.  One of them, that passes on some obvious truths, is this pearl that declares you can't skate with Bison.  Even Kevin Kostner recognized this.  He danced with wolves, but never tried rolling with the tatanka. Though it is obviously not wise to recreationally covort with Bison, that reminder hardly qualifies as wisdom.  True wisdom addresses that which pertains to real life.  It takes on issues that aren't obvious at all.  It serves to "give prudence to the naive, to the youth knowledge and discretion."  (Proverbs 1:4) We heard that kind of counsel last night. God's word is full of true wisdom.  Here is how James describes it. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.  (James 3:17) Wisdom, don't miss it!
