More about my next-door neighbor, the Bible. Or as I said yesterday, the spoken face of God.
As a young adult, I finally stopped in to visit my Neighbor and heard the story of Wisdom. My Neighbor said ask for it and God will give it to you in abundance.
Well, that might have saved a few dozen pits, potholes and regrets.
But there's even more to it than that. My Neighbor pointed out the most amazing thing about the neighborhood when I visited just this morning. He showed me Proverbs 8 (MSG): "I am Lady Wisdom, and I live next to Sanity; Knowledge and Discretion live just down the street."
Isn't that sort of an omg moment? I have them all right here in my neighborhood if I am willing to visit and listen and learn?
And more from Lady Wisdom: "I love those who love me; those who look for me find me. Wealth and Glory accompany me--also substantial Honor and a Good Name. My benefits are worth more than a big salary, even a very big salary; the returns on me exceed any imaginable bonus. You can find me on Righteous Road--that's where I walk--at the intersection of Justice Avenue, Handing out life to those who love me, filling their arms with life--armloads of life!
What neighborhood do you live in?
