The beginning of the New Year is a great time for reflection on what is behind and what lies ahead. Behind us here at Two Institutions are mounds of fond memories and blessings. With that in mind, we are very excited to see what the Lord has in store for 2008.
The historian in me always approaches something new by examining it in the context of something old. King Solomon espouses the wisdom in this in his adage, "...there is nothing new under the sun." (Ecc. 1:9) So lets examine some ancient words that may give us a proper context for commencing this new year.
In Psalm 90:12 we read...
So teach us to number our days that we may get a heart of wisdom.These ancient words encourage me that a heart of wisdom is mine for the getting. Most Christians, however, prefer to waste their efforts in talking about wisdom instead of exercising the discipline required to get it. As we start this new year, let us strengthen ourselves, our families, and our churches by being the few that practice the discipline of learning and applying Biblical wisdom.
Ancient words ever true
Changing me, and changing you.
We have come with open hearts
Oh let the ancient words impart.
- Michael W. Smith
