“He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.” — Proverbs 16:20
Wisdom is man’s true strength; and, under its guidance, he best accomplishes the ends of his being. Wisely handling the matter of life gives to man the richest enjoyment, and presents the noblest occupation for his powers; hence by it he finds good in the fullest sense. Without wisdom, man is as the wild ass’s colt, running hither and thither, wasting strength which might be profitably employed. Wisdom is the compass by which man is to steer across the trackless waste of life; without it he is a derelict vessel, the sport of winds and waves. A man must be prudent in such a world as this, or he will find no good, but be betrayed into unnumbered ills. The pilgrim will sorely wound his feet among the briers of the wood of life if he do not pick his steps with the utmost caution. He who is in a…
wilderness infested with robber bands must handle matters wisely if he
would journey safely. If, trained by the Great Teacher, we follow where
He leads, we shall find good, even while in this dark abode; there are
celestial fruits to be gathered this side of Eden’s bowers, and songs of
paradise to be sung amid the groves of earth. But where shall this wisdom
be found? Many have dreamed of it, but have not possessed it. Where
shall we learn it? Let us listen to the voice of the Lord, for He hath
declared the secret; He hath revealed to the sons of men wherein true
wisdom lieth, and we have it in the text, “Whoso trusteth in the Lord,
happy is he.” The true way to handle a matter wisely is to trust in the Lord.
This is the sure clue to the most intricate labyrinths of life, follow it and
find eternal bliss. He who trusts in the Lord has a diploma for wisdom
granted by inspiration: happy is he now, and happier shall he be above.
Lord, in this sweet eventide walk with me in the garden, and teach me the
wisdom of faith.
