Wisdom
A wise man once wrote for his gravestone; ‘As I am now, you soon shall be, so be content to follow me.’
When he died a wiser one taped a note to it that read: ‘To follow you I’m content, until I know which way you went’ ah! That’s wisdom.
Wisdom is applying truth to the art of living. The truth comes free in the word of God but applying it comes at a price. He abandons Jesus and departs poorer than when he came even though his wealth remains intact.
Not only does he leave the poorer, he leaves grieving.
Instinctively he knows that there’s more to his life than wealth.
He knows it, yet still won’t change. He wants wisdom; is offered it, but thinks the price is too high. Change wealth to anything else we long for in the secret of our heart – anything that blocks our way to God.
That’s the spot God’s word needs to hit, to separate us from it so that we come to possess wisdom because we’ve allowed God to possess us. (Fr. Tom Cahill)
