Guest post By- Faye Roots
I am now in my 78th year of life and one thing I do KNOW.
(Apart from what I know in the sense of acquired education and accumulated head Knowledge)
I know in myself, I am not wise. Nor at times have I, or do I still make wise decisions. I have often made sensible, non-harming, practical decisions but not, in thinking back, did I use wisdom in carrying out my learned behavioral responses?
I have come to understand that only a source wiser than myself could ever enable me to use wisdom in my decision-making in this world of so much that appears to be ‘helpful’ but often is deceptive.
Out of the Wisdom of the ancient Greeks, Romans have come philosophical, theological, anecdotal writings found in many books.
I love books. I love all forms of creativity. I appreciate ALL who write, act, paint, or live to improve the lives of others and not simply for self-magnification.
Throughout history during all the gains in humanity’s life improvements there remains still suffering, neglect, grief, pain, and loss.
Human cruelty selfishness and greed still rises. No wisdom in politics or man-devised scientific knowledge of the human condition has wiped this out.
This world is comprised of humanity as diverse as pebbles on a beach. We all share one certainty one day all our physical will be gone. Colour Race, Belief, all gone.
If there is a place for human souls/spirits to journey where race, color ethnicity, and opinions do not matter we need a pearl of higher wisdom.
We need a Divine or ‘higher’ level to guide and teach us.
Is this possible? Could this ever be?
If Wisdom is a Spirit- and many, tribal people like Americans, Indians, and folks throughout the Islands of the sea and in the Andes, Africa, etc searched the heavens for Manitoba (lake Manitoba “the narrows of the great spirit”), The Serpent Spirit, even the Dragon Spirit. Today the search for ‘The Spirit’ goes on in many cultural forms and practices.
What if there is ONE DIVINE SPIRIT of WISDOM?
How could frail humanity ever tap into this source?
There would need to be a bridge.
Has a bridge already been built to join us all together?
Something to think about.
Can insignificant little beings like you and I tap into a Divine SOURCE?
A thought to Challenge?

Thought-provoking post!

Man just cannot get it right without God. I used to try though. No good thing is within me without Him.
Thanks For the appreciation and your thoughts
This world is comprised of humanity as diverse as pebbles on a beach. We all share one
certainty one day all our physical will be gone. Color Race, Belief, all gone. < your so right
if you pay close attention to how much the so called GOV'T is dividing our lives it's insane.
Truly said. Thanks for your words.

"Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power." (Hebrews 1:1-3)
Jesus is that bridge to link us to the Divine Source, The God Who Is, aka Yahweh, The I AM who revealed Himself to Moses.
Beautiful thoughts.
I was and still am a seeking of wisdom. Now I know who and where to go for the wisdom needed to navigate this life. After much seeking in lots of place and with lots of people I finally bought a bible and in it I found the one who is wisdom itself, Jesus Christ. I now seek wisdom in Him. Thanks for a post that causes us to think about where we are getting our wisdom.
Thanks for your appreciation and beautiful thoughts for Faye's Post. Much appreciated.

Thank you for all the responses above and thank you for the biblical understanding to know that in this BOOK IS the path not only to eternity but to all the wisdom needed to navigate this often dangerous life. When will we have true love of all humanity and the realization that ALL of us are deeply LOVED. ? Only when the Kingdom of Christ reigns SUPREME over all the earth. You are all such special people!
Keep writing more of this stuff, God is with you. Loved your work so much, Proud.
That bridge is Christ.
