A characteristic of us people is that we are finite as opposed to infinite. We can only do so much, and we can only be in one place at a time. That means that if we want to maximize our life we must choose wisely how we use our time, our energy, and our resources.  It really does boil down to choices that we make. At every intersection in our life and there are dozens every day there are multiple options to choose from, just like a menu in a Resturant. Wisdom is what we need to make choices that are absolutely the best. The book of Provers in the Bible says that if we have wisdom we will do well.  Part of our problem is that the wrong choices available to us have a lot of things about them that make them appealing to us and fool us into picking them. The best choices result in happiness, unity, peace, success, character growth. The less than best choices result in conflict, frustration, unhappiness, anxiety, failure. A major part of being wise is recognizing that every word we speak is a choice and that we choose  all day long and that every one of them brings consequence or blessing even the seemingly little and unimportant ones. Every day we are sowing and reaping. Sowing seeds of the choices we make that day, and reaping the consequences or rewards of the sowing we have done in days past. Life is not random, or an accident, it is precise, governed, and designed to make us wiser and more mature if we pay attention and learn.
