Wisdom

Vision of the Ancient of Days
Daniel 7:9, 10
“I watched till thrones were put in place, and the Ancient of Days was seated. His garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, its wheels a burning fire; I fiery stream issued, and came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.”

Daniel’s vision of God on His throne with more people seated before Him than he could count reminded me of how I love to just sit and listen to older people tell stories of their lives and share in the wisdom they had gained. This of course took place after the teen years when I realized that I really didn’t know it all.
I realized that through their life experiences and learning from the mistakes that they had made, that something was to be learned here. As I try and partake of my wisdom to my oldest daughter, wanting her to learn from the mistakes that I made, I feel that she sometimes just patronizes me as I am sure I did my mother as I was growing up.
When Jesus had gone to Lazarus’ house as a guest for a meal, He listened to Martha complain that her lazy sister Mary just sat while she did all the work. Jesus told her that Mary had chosen to the right thing by sitting at His feet and partaking of His wisdom. Oh that we would take more time to sit before the Ancient of Days and partake of the wisdom that He has gained. What wonderful things might God impart upon you today if you just took the time to sit at His feet with His word opened, in prayer, or just being silent? Can you hear Him talking to you today?
