GIGGLING AT THE SCRIPTURES

Today's reading: Ecclesiastes 7-8

"Being wise is as good as being rich; in fact, better." Ecclesiastes 7:11 NLT

This morning, I'll admit, I giggled at this Scripture.

Not in an unbelieving way--because I know the proverb is true.

But in a 'take it to the bank' kind of way.

You see, I'll never be able to cash a check on the bank of my wisdom.

I'll never ace a test that will show I needn't set a new vehicle up on a payment plan.

I'll always need to pay as I go through the drive-thru, I won't get a burger and fries on my IQ alone.

As I laugh my way through these scenarios, I know only through God's gift of wisdom will I have the intelligence to understand this verse at all.

The Comforter/Interpreter/Revealer speaks God's Word into our hearts in ways that our brains can't do.

So, because of His presence in my life--I'm one smart cookie!
