WE ARE WISE

“Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding?” Job 12:12 NIV

Job implies a connection between age and wisdom, suggesting that understanding and knowledge are often acquired with time. The Olive tree can endure for centuries, surviving various challenges but maintaining its fortitude.

Wisdom is the proper application of knowledge, the quality of deep understanding, and sound judgment. It is the ability to apply knowledge, insight, and discernment to practical situations, resulting in the ability to make wise decisions.

This picture of the olive tree parallels the wisdom that elders have acquired from the blessing of a long life of diverse experiences. Some elders have been blessed to live to be a century old and beyond, containing a wealth of knowledge and wisdom.

The seniors in society possess wisdom and a broad perspective of life that considers long-term consequences and the well-being of oneself and others when making decisions. This quality holds great value and enriches those willing to honor, listen, and learn from their elders.

AFFIRMATION: I celebrate the wealth of wisdom within our seniors, acknowledging their profound perspective and foresight. In honoring, listening, and learning from our elders, I embrace the valuable lessons from considering long-term consequences and the well-being of oneself and others in decision-making. Through this connection, I enrich my understanding and contribute to the collective wisdom that spans generations.
