Wise Sayings – Find Your Wisdom…Within

Wisdom is to be found within, by the seeds planted so very long ago by He who created you and I.  To find wisdom, one must go within and uncover, remove the debris of the world:  the cares and worries of the physical world that have long, oh too long, kept it smothered and buried.

Renew my mind with the Washing of Thy Word.  How often I have prayed this prayer; each morning when I arise I visualize the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) entering into my being, much like the dove that appeared and anointed Yahsua upon his baptism by John.  It’s like the external extra touch of the Grace of YHWH comes down and ignites or lights up what is within; awakens me for the day (not the physical me).  This prayer is one where I visualize that Spirit lighting up and pouring through me an anointing that washes away all the debris of yesterday, providing me with a clean palet to begin this new gift of today, the present.  It’s like I am a painter with a brand new canvass to begin my masterpiece all over again; afresh to strike the first stroke of the brush – choices of what colours to use:  will they be somber and dark or bright and filled with light.  Will they be dark woods where nothing can be seen, or fields of daisies dancing in the bright sunlight, clapping their petals to the rhythm of the wind that caresses them as it passes over?  I know my physical preference is to gaze upon the dancing fields of daisies, not the darkness of a deeply wooded area.

So I say again, Renew my mind with the washing of thy Word.  For me, it doesn’t have to be something “directly quoted” from the book we call the Bible – for many a man has written much wisdom in differing words, but with the same depth and hidden treasureful meanings.

I share with you some wise sayings that have been beheld by these eyes, drunk in deeply by this soul…these pebbles of goodness that shall feed and sustain me this day; keep me in the right perspective that I not be distracted and engulfed by the darkness of the material world that would suck me into nothingness.
