Thought for Today: “Wisdom Lived Out”

Wisdom is revealed through our actions, not in the words we speak.

Jesus said, “Wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.” (Matthew 11:19b)

In other words, actions speak louder than words

When I read quotes by great authors, the wisdom they display in their words is phenomenal. But when these words are examined by the lives, their lives reveal that they are a mess, with many living lives of loneliness, despair, and depression.

“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise.” (Ephesians 5:15)

Crafting wise words is therefore not the answer; rather it’s living life by faith in Jesus Christ in whom all wisdom is found.

“It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God–that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption.” (1 Corinthians 1:30)
