What makes life--well, come to life? What makes it real and amazing and enjoyable?
This excerpt (where the voice of Wisdom is speaking) gives a few answers that may be pretty unexpected to many people:
Mark a life of discipline and live wisely;
don't squander your precious life.
Blessed the man, blessed the woman, who listens to me,
awake and ready for me each morning,
alert and responsive as I start my day's work.
When you find me, you find life, real life,
to say nothing of God's good pleasure.
But if you wrong me, you damage your very soul;
when you reject me, you're flirting with death."
Interesting, right? Discipline and wisdom help us savor the beautiful moments in our lives. Wisdom gives life to our lives...and helps us to put a smile on God's face (so to speak). Keep going after wisdom.
