#is wisdom

Job 28:28 (NKJV) - And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”

Job 28:27-28 (NKJV) - Then He saw wisdom and declared it; He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out. And to man He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.’ ”

Proverbs 11:2 (NKJV) - When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

I feel like I used to know a thing or two, before I learned a thing or two. The blocks and, and games of tag and the pies of jelly and pickles and eggs that my mom used to let me bake, they were something to study. It wasn't as simple as they make it out to be--simplicity that is. When did I make the switch? When did we? I miss how I never used to wonder, but how I wondered all the time. There was so much mystery, and it's not like it all went away. We think we know so much and we know so little. I don't know how this turned into a mourn-the-innocence kind of thing, I don't remember when I turned into that kind of kid, but we all do it. I start out with a simple thought and then it turns into this long paragraph that becomes much more than it is. A lot of things end up that way: overrated and lacking in value as soon as it begins to be recognized, like those fancy restaurants that don't allow kids in them.
