The War on Wisdom Sample

We share with others the things we value. When one sees that breathtaking sunset over the horizon, one can’t but wish someone else was there to share in it. Or when you get that funny message from your friend, you can’t wait to send it on to the next person.

We have an intrinsic desire to share our joy with those around us. In the same measure, we also have the desire to share our difficulties. We know that sharing them lightens our load. Often the loneliness we feel when we can’t share our burdens seems unbearable.

The father, here in Proverbs, longs to share wisdom with his son. Wisdom has been a treasure to him, something that has impacted every area of his life, and he wants his son to share in this treasure.

Maybe you need to start sharing the wisdom of God with those around you. Maybe you are a parent who needs to set their heart on sharing God’s wisdom with the next generation. Or you are a teacher who needs to pass along the wisdom of God to your students. Or you are an employer needing to share the truths of God with your employees.

Spend time in prayer asking God how you can share with others (a friend, a colleague, a relative, or a child) the riches of the wisdom of God.
