Reflection: “Ask for Wisdom”
In our prayers to God, we ask for many things. But do we ask for
wisdom? Solomon asked for wisdom. To live in this world filled with
Good and Evil, it is imperative that we need wisdom just like Solomon.
Many people in this world are ready to give advice. Some do it for good
reasons. Others do it because they want something in return. However,
God gives wisdom freely to us because he loves us and knows our
weaknesses.
We, on our part, must be prepared to give up our comforts, whenever it
is necessary, to receive and act according to this wisdom. We may have
to change our lives slightly or do a major turnaround.
For example, reconsider certain relationships, review our leisure
activities, focus more on our families, review our expenditure
patterns, etc. God promises lasting happiness and total satisfaction to
His children.
We also receive this great treasure by attending Mass and receiving the
Eucharist. When we receive the Eucharist, we are reminded about our
Lord. Our Lord acted in accordance with His Father’s wishes.
Always remember that our Lord is the epitome of wisdom.
