The Path Of Wisdom

September 26, 2013

Albert Einstein was heard to say, “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.” Sadly, it does seem that far too often there is no limit to the foolishness we get ourselves into—or the damage we create by our foolishness and the choices it fosters.

It was in such a season of regret that David poured out his struggle and complaint to God in Psalm 38. As he recounted his own failings, as well as the painful consequences he was enduring because of those failings, the shepherd-king made an insightful comment: “My wounds are foul and festering because of my foolishness” (v.5). Although the psalmist does not give us the details of those choices or of his worsening wounds, one thing is clear—David recognized his own foolishness as their root cause.

The answer for such destructive foolishness is to embrace the wisdom of God. Proverbs 9:10 reminds us, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” Only by allowing God to transform us can we overcome the foolish decisions that cause so much trouble. With His loving guidance, we can follow the pathway of godly wisdom.

Loving Father, forgive me for the seemingly
limitless capacity I have to be foolish. Teach me
in Your wisdom, so that my life might be pleasing
to You and a blessing to others around me.
God’s wisdom is given to those who humbly ask Him for it.

Read: Psalm 38:1-15

In You, O Lord, I hope; You will hear, O Lord my God. —Psalm 38:15
Bible in a Year:
Isaiah 1-2; Galatians 5

TODAY IN HISTORY



1st Lt. Edward V. Rickenbacker
U.S. Army Air Service
94th Aero Squadron
25 September 1918



Citation:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy near Billy, France, 25 September 1918. While on a voluntary patrol over the lines, 1st Lt. Rickenbacker attacked 7 enemy planes (5 type Fokker, protecting two type Halberstadt). Disregarding the odds against him, he dived on them and shot down one of the Fokkers out of control. He then attacked one of the Halberstadts and sent it down also.

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Good evening, Connie!

*HUGS*

Thank you for the kind words - it's great to see you this evening!

I think the cervical-spinal arthritis is gaining - but I'm scheduled for another epidural Wednesday the 9th. It's helped in the past. :)

Must retire – the 0445 Reveille approaches relentlessly.

Corpsman (HM/1) on the right of that photo. I can't make out the wings, but it looks like either Recon or FMF above the ribbons and Submariner below.

God Bless his valiant heart!

Now I'm really packin' it in! Gnite, All!
