Ahem...

It's been a long meeting and others have made their points over and over. You're beginning to think all the options are on the table and then, someone new clears their throat. All eyes turn to the understated member of the committee who has been thoughtfully listening, and when they begin to speak, clarity seems to come into the conversation like fresh air from an open window.

Ahhh. To be that person.

Solomon prayed for wisdom and I'm still not sure why God gave him all the other things because in the end it seems like it was those other things that diluted the wisdom gift and ultimately posed the greatest threat to it. So let's just stick with wisdom. Or better yet, Wisdom. Because in the book of Proverbs, Solomon personifies wisdom and points it right back to its divine origin.

So as much as I'd like to be the person that listens and then has the last, magical words that draws everything together into a wise package that everyone agrees on, it's really all up go to the real Author behind my life. So I'll try spend more time listening to Him too, before I speak.
