Writing and Wisdom

Well, here I am back to writing my blog. I have enjoyed the break from the pressure of writing something that was motivating and edifying every day for those who read it, but I also missed writing it. I missed writing it because it was the most stimulating thing I did in order to think and communicate clearly. It isn’t particularly easy to think clearly because our brains are so full of garbage that we hear and see every day. That garbage is like sewage running into a clear, clean creek. Trying to write intelligently and clearly from what is in my mind is like trying to get water out of that creek with a straw and spitting it into a glass. The exercise and discipline of doing that is more profitable for me than it is for those who read my blog. Having great discernment between what is good and what is bad, and between what is true and what is false, can only be done by someone who has wisdom. Wisdom is the great pursuit of life; those who seek it diligently will find it. Wisdom comes to those who read the Bible every day, spend time memorizing and meditating on the Bible every day, spend time with God, pray and ask for wisdom every day, read good books, listen to amazing podcasts and sermons, seek advice and counsel from wise people, and learning from our mistakes and failures. One more major discipline in the pursuit of wisdom is to think about what you have learned and write it down intelligently and clearly. That is why writing this blog is so much more important to me than it is to those who read it.
