Seek Understanding!

Seek Understanding!

Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who have understanding, so they can be even more discerning. In Jesus’ name, amen.

There is an interesting juxtaposition in Proverbs 28:11 (ESV).

One man is rich and claims to be wise. Another man is poor and has understanding. Who has the advantage between these two?

Logic would seem to say the rich man who claims to be wise would have the upper hand. But King Solomon puts things into perspective.

“A rich man is wise in his own eyes,
but a poor man who has understanding will find him out.”

It seems the man with money who claims to be wise is no match for the poor person with understanding.

Don’t be deceived by what might seem obvious. Do you seek true wisdom, or are you wise in your own eyes? Believers can develop true wisdom and understanding by reading Scripture and listening to the Holy Spirit.

Howie’s Broken Hee-Haw

Howie’s Broken Hee-Haw

A few weeks ago, I came across a very fun-to-read children’s picture book. Howie’s Broken Hee-Haw by Josie Siler, illustrated by Sebastien Braun, will become an Easter and anytime classic.

Without giving away the story, just know that a little donkey has a special bray that Jesus appreciates.

Where do you find good books?

Do you visit the author’s website? Do you check the Amazon or Goodreads reviews? Does a radio show or podcast interview pique your interest that spurs you make a purchase?

I found out about Howie’s story through a friend. She told me she had heard about a good children’s book author, so I visited Josie Siler’s website. Somehow, I found a link to one about a podcast interview where she was the featured guest. During the interview, Ms. Siler read a short excerpt from her book. After that, I looked on Amazon and read the reviews.

I was so impressed with all I learned that I ordered two copies. One was for my collection and the other for the younger children in my family.

When one young child and I read the book aloud with the family present, everyone fell in love with the story.

I highly recommend this book.

It surely will make you smile.

Enjoy!
