Age-Old Wisdom
March 8, 2018
Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?
Job 12:12
In 2010, a newspaper in Singapore published a special report that contained life lessons gleaned from eight senior citizens. It opened with these words: While aging brings challenges to mind and body, it can also lead to an expansion in other realms. There is an abundance of emotional and social knowledge; qualities which scientists are beginning to define as wisdom . . . the wisdom of elders.
Indeed, wise older people have much to teach us about life. But in the Bible, we meet a newly crowned king who failed to recognize this.
King Solomon had just died, and in 1 Kings 12:3, we read that the whole assembly of Israel went to Rehoboam with a petition. They asked the new king to lighten the harsh labor and heavy taxes his father Solomon had demanded of them. In return, they would loyally serve Rehoboam.
At first the young king consulted the elders (v. 6). But he rejected their advice and accepted the foolish counsel of the young men who had grown up with him (v. 8). He made the burden on the people even greater! His rashness cost him most of his kingdom.
All of us need the counsel that comes with years of experience, especially from those who have walked with God and listened well to His counsel. Think of the accumulated wisdom God has given them! They have much to share with us about the Lord. Lets seek them out and give a listening ear to their wisdom.
To avoid the mistakes of youth, draw from the wisdom of age.
Rehoboam was free to listen to whichever advice he chose, but his decision not to listen to the wisdom of his elders resulted in the division of the nation of Israel into two different kingdoms.
Are you facing a decision? Seek out the counsel of wise, mature believers.

Someone in VA (Richmond postmark) sent me a lovely card and gift. It was anonymous...so if you are out there THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart.
(((I have spent weeks trying to figure out who the FReeper is, but I gave up, as VA has over 1000 members! I finally gave up and am hoping you see this!!!)))
