PURSUE WISDOM
Sirach 14:20-22
Blessed is the man who practices wisdom
And discourses with insight.
Whoever ponders the ways of wisdom in his heart
Will also reflect on her secrets.
Pursue wisdom like a tracker
And lie in wait on her paths.
Personal Challenge
When I was a youth I participated in the Boy Scouts for many years. One of the things that I enjoyed was tracking, learning how to pursue a deer, or other wild animals as long as possible without scaring it away. The key to this was knowing enough about the animal to be able to find it in its habitat and then to be able to be like it, to think like it, to act like it, so that you could follow it and get up close to it. Although Christ will never be scared away when we pursue Him, this is the process that the writer is referring too. We should pursue wisdom, or Christ, as we would track an animal and lie in wait in His paths to find Him. Glory be to God!
