The Book of Wisdom, like all the sapiential books of the Old Testament, fundamentally works on the concept of the two mentalities and the two paths. In front of man's reason are foolishness and wisdom, sin and righteousness, and thence the concept of freedom, because man can choose which path to follow, as the Bible explains with wisdom: "God in the beginning created human beings and made them subject to their own free choice" Ben Sira 15:14. And the Book of Wisdom, after exhorting men to love justice, continues its teaching explaining what the perception of life is like according to sinners; and this is important to understand, foolishness is a way of perceiving the world because it is a mentality, a mentality where men look for the immediate, the superficial, what gratifies without caring about others. With these simple words, the Book of Wisdom tells how fools think: "Come, therefore, let us enjoy the good things that are here, and make use of creation with youthful zest. Let us have our fill of costly wine and perfumes, and let no springtime blossom pass us by; let us crown ourselves with rosebuds before they wither. Let no meadow be free from our wantonness; everywhere let us leave tokens of our merriment, for this is our portion, and this our lot. Let us oppress the righteous poor; let us neither spare the widow nor revere the aged for hair grown white with time. But let strength be our norm of righteousness; for weakness proves itself useless" Wisdom 2:6-11. The Book of Wisdom shows us that behind this way of reasoning are lies, deception, and suffering; because the path of foolishness and sin is an uncertain path full of destructive unforeseen events due to the ethical laws of the universe. The book of wisdom calls men to avoid this path, and to recognize the fruits that this mentality brings with it.

The meaning of communion according to the Bible - Fifth Gospel

The Bible teach us to live the spiritual gifts, to sow in the spirit as is explained in Galatians 6:8: "Who sows in the spirit, will from the spirit r...

The communion is a fruit of the holy spirit that manifests itself from Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4), communion is the correct or ethical order of society, it is how God wants men to live with each other. From this point of view, the current political and economic systems are heresies, that is, forms of error, of the communion. Communion is the correct order of society because in communion there is no favoritism: "But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers" James 2:9. Capitalism, for example, is in itself an oppressive system because one person can be born rich and another with nothing, this is a form of favoritism, the concept of private property is born of human egoism and separates people. Selfish people don't build bridges but walls, oppressive systems destroy the idea of the common good in people, and encourage greed to the greatest degree, the weakest in society, the orphans and the elderly, are abandoned to their fate. The Bible clearly teaches us that we are all one, and that those who possess more goods, whether physical or spiritual goods, have to share more: "All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had". Acts 4:32. This is how the Bible describes life in communion, that is, the brotherhood of believers, after Pentecost: "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people." Acts 2:42-47.

Wisdom is the science that teaches us to make the right decisions in life, and the Bible teaches us that this science… by bernardo69

If we want to grow in wisdom and be perfect like the Lord, we must first of all, have fear of God: "Wisdom's instruction is to fear the LORD, and humility comes before honor" Proverbs 15:33.  God is the wisdom itself explains the theologian Thomas Aquinas, to seek wisdom is to seek God. The spiritual gift of fear of God is an attachment of the heart of man towards the divine, the perfect. Seek God, be close to him, be willing to strive to reach the most sublime and perfect mysteries, this is what the one who fears God seeks. God knows his devotees and promises them the beatitude of knowledge: “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know" Jeremiah 33:3. The fear of the lord is defined as constancy, firmness, devotion, equanimity, stability. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of the spiritual life in man.

An example of the spiritual gift of fear of God is King David. David is a humble shepherd, and God decides to anoint him to give him his spirit and make him the first among his people, humility precedes glory, the bible tells us: "Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward" 1 Samuel 16:13. Through the fear of God David grows in wisdom and thus can defeat Goliath, fulfilling an old saying: "Wisdom is better than strength" Ecclesiastes 9:16. But after having acquired fame and honors, David suffers the persecution of his King Saul, but despite this David never hurls insults or insults at his King. David controls fear and learns to make wise decisions that allow him to stay alive. Eventually, patience bears fruit and Saul dies and David is crowned King. David is an example of how blessedness and wisdom belong to those who fear God.

I used to love fairytales and storybooks MORE than anything. --------- But one thing i learned from them- is that you have to be "saved" to get anywhere in life. Over the past year- through coaching, adulting, and simply failing hard core at lots of little things...😂 I've learned SO much about the fact that life is not handed to you nor are we "saved" by some magical storyline. Ever since I was little I've seen something amazing- and ran; CHASED after it with every inch of my being. But oftentimes - doing so while failing to believe that it could ACTUALLY be mine. That I was actually worth THAT fairytale ending. I dreamt and hoped and wished upon SO many stars.... until I realized how much of a say I have in that fairytale. I realized that I'm stronger than I know- and that failure is simply a stepping stone towards success. If you look at it that way- it's actually a good thing! If anything- I've learned that life is not about waiting around. It's not about hoping for your dreams to come true. It takes work and consistency! But it also takes heart. And passion. 2 things I have more of than I ever realized- until now. What do ya know... the princess has a rope- and can slide down the tower?!😂😉 But I've also learned that I'm not always gonna get it right. I'm not always going to be able to finish strong or even succeed for that matter. But in that ebb and flow- I will move forward. Closer to my dreams and goals and I will learn exactly WHO I am (and am supposed to be) along the way. This is the beautiful mess that is: life. It's something I'm never ever going to have figured out. And until now- I thought I would've had that covered by now😂 But life IS a beautiful thing. And I'm so grateful to know- that I'm farther now than I've ever been. And that's all that really matters. I'm stronger now, taller now, and aware that I'm SO worth a life of love, beauty, passion, and adventure. The journey I'm trekking along through THAT life will never end..... A magical thought ✨ As long as I just keep swimming🌊🐠☺️ #teamwholehearted #thinkingdeep #teamroottorise
