Shade Tree Wisdom 10/12/15

          This from the Wisdom of Solomon recorded in the Book of Proverbs:      

“Trust in the Lord with all  your

Heart, and do not lean

On your own

Understanding.”

Proverbs 3,5.

          This bit of wisdom stands near the beginning of the collection of wisdom we call the Proverbs of Solomon.

          And there is a reason for that. Often we tend to go our way and forget there usually is a better way, a brighter thought, ‘ or, finally, the Right way’,

          Consider the way of salvation. Man is entitled to his own opinion, and yet that often includes the thought that man can be good enough to earn heaven, when the truth is “No man comes to the Father but by Me,” said Jesus.

          And that is the truth.
