Proverbs 2:6

Wisdom is a gift from a generous God, and every word he speaks is full of revelation and becomes a fountain of understanding within you.

December is here—and you can already feel that it tis the season gift-buying energy buzzing all in the air We’re hunting for deals… scrolling for ideas… trying to find something that’ll make somebody smile… even though, let’s be honest: most gifts today are built for consumption. They’re used up, worn out, forgotten, recycled, replaced.

But Proverbs 2:6 is different.

It says God gives wisdom — and not the consumable kind. Not the “use it once then toss it” kind. It’s generous. It’s abundant. It multiplies. It’s the gift that keeps on giving — not corny… but cosmic.

Because every word He speaks becomes: “a fountain of understanding within you.” And what does a fountain do? It flows. It pours. It keeps going. It doesn’t run out.

That’s the fractal nature of the Divine — one truth birthing another truth, one insight multiplying into ten more, one word of wisdom becoming a wellspring inside you.

And while we’re buying gifts made to be consumed, God gives gifts designed to renew, refill, and reproduce.

🎶 Now… about that song.

If we’re talking about gifts that give long after the moment has passed, we have to talk about Stevie Wonder’s monumental song “As.”

It dropped in 1976.

Critics have long noted that Stevie wrote “As” to feel eternal — a looping generosity of melody, emotion, and spiritual uplift. Did Stevie even know that 48 years later his song would ripple out into thousands of moments, thousands of families, thousands of memories… giving joy every single time it plays?

Let me share one of mine.

A few years ago, at my mother’s 75th birthday party, I had one of those divine moments that tattoo themselves on your soul. They played “As” — and we all got on the dance floor and suddenly I wasn’t a 55-year-old man anymore. I was a kid again, dancing with my mom, my brother, and my sister — our little family of four who made it out the mud, journeyed through life, and now stood hand-in-hand on the dance floor…and we were ‘dancin’ y’all

Laughing. Crying. Holding each other. Being held by a song that keeps giving joy every time it plays.

That’s the power of a true gift. A gift that multiplies. A gift that grows. A gift that gives again every time it appears.

🌊 The Divine Fountain

And that’s what Proverbs 2:6 is pointing to:

God doesn’t just hand you wisdom — He plants a fountain in you.

So your creativity flows. Your compassion flows. Your insight flows. Your generosity flows.

You become a source because you’re connected to The Source.

And that’s the invitation of December: Don’t just buy gifts that expire. Become the kind of gift that pours.

💥 Remember

What God gives you doesn’t run out — it runs over.

🙏🏽 Prayer

Make me a fountain, Lord, pouring wisdom, joy, and grace

Today’s Challenge

Give one gift today that can’t be consumed — a word, a prayer, a call, a moment of attention. Something that multiplies. Your very ‘presence’ is the best present you could ever present.
