DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY

There is a famous African folktale about an animal that claimed to have mopped up all the wisdom in the world into a pouch and attempted to hide it on a palm tree where no one else could reach it. Unfortunately, it placed the pouch on its chest and repeatedly failed to climb the tree until an onlooker advised it to put the pouch on its back. It dawned on the crafty animal that, indeed, it had been unable to capture all the wisdom in the world and, therefore, abandoned its mission.

There are lessons to learn from our passage in the light of this fable. First, wisdom is paramount in human affairs and applicable to specific situations. It also enables the weak to turn their disability into strength. It is described as “the principal thing”, which (coupled with understanding) should be sought by everyone.

The little animals mentioned in our passage illustrate the application of wisdom to the challenges of life: the ants make adequate provision for the winter of scarcity; conies are weak but build safe houses that are inaccessible to predators; locusts, without a single leader, demonstrate strength in collective action, by organising themselves in incredible, irresistible swarms, and the powerless spider sneaks into highly secured places where strong human beings find difficult to enter.

Second, different forms of wisdom apply to different situations in life, as shown by the different animals in the Bible passage. Third, no single person has a monopoly of wisdom, and true wisdom is from God. We must seek it from Him with unwavering faith.

Finally, wisdom is most profitable if correctly applied to pleasing God. Sinners should be wise unto salvation by repenting and trusting the Lord for mercy and forgiveness.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: The wisdom from above is above worldly wisdom.
