Ecclesiastes 9:18 “Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.”We have been watching a new show called Deadliest Warrior. This show takes two different style warriors and five of their weapons and tests them against each other technically. Last night we watched the Mari from New Zealand and the Shaolin monk. Isaiah like me has this deep respect and longing for the Chinese culture and martial arts so of course we choose the Shaolin monk. While Ant loves the force of the Mari warrior. Not to mention the facial tattoos the stick out of their tongues, and the Haka. No matter who you side with you really don’t want to be up against either.
Both warriors are highly trained from a young age and taught in the ways of war. The one thing that both Isaiah and I liked was that the Shaolin only fight in defense when reason is no longer an option.
Society and even those in the church are easily offended and quick to fight. We need to get back to the wisdom of God. It does not take much to react, but it does take discipline to stop and think of the proper way to approach a matter. In the last year I have learned how powerful wisdom and submission truly are. There is a time to fight, however, without wisdom there are far more casualties then necessary.
Lord, I thank you for your wisdom that you so generously give to us. Continue to open my eyes and heart to your ways and may I walk in your gentle guidance. Amen
