Listen To The Quiet Words
Here's something else I saw on this earth. I saw an example of
wisdom that touched me deeply. There was once a small city. Only a few people
lived there. A powerful king attacked it. He brought in war machines all around
it.
A certain
man lived in that city. He was poor but wise. He used his wisdom to save the
city. But no one remembered that poor man. So I said, "It's better to be
wise than to be powerful." But people looked down on the poor man's
wisdom. No one paid any attention to what he said.
People
should listen to the quiet words of those who are wise. That's better than
paying attention to the shouts of a ruler of foolish people.
Wisdom
is better than weapons of war. But one sinner destroys a lot of good.
Ecclesiastes 9:13-18
Crowds
always seem to forget or ignore the good that the poor and humble man
accomplishes through his wisdom.
God
wanted His Son to serve as the humble servant, and He did. The same goes for
us. God never yells at us. He works through the Holy Spirit within us. And that
voice is always quiet and full of wisdom.
Listen for the quiet words.
A wise person sets his earthly goals on heavenly gains.
