Well, to be completely honest, I read chapter 1 on Tuesday, and then read the Intro last night- I skipped over the into :) And let's just say that after reading chapter 1- I already felt quite convicted..when I went to read the Intro, it was a bit better :) I have a feeling that this book is going to do some things to my heart! I am praying that we will all benefit and grow in our own lives and together as we read this book each week!
With that said, I can already tell you that I am currently a wild woman- yes, seeking to be wise, but I am most definitely wild. I am not where I need to be or should be with the Lord. I would say that looking back over my life- I have gone in and out of "wildness" - obviously, sin never really leaves us- it is something we do daily, but the concept of WHOLE-heartedly seeking God- is not something that I am always pursuing.
The story of the modern day girl- though I cannot relate specifically to that story- I can say that it is easy to become distracted by things around us and to lose focus on what we have and what is right in front of us- we can become so distracted that we forget what we were actually working towards..
The verses that stuck out to me were, "All treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ Jesus" Colossians 2:3 and Psalm 19:7, "The Lord's instruction is perfect. It nourishes the soul. And it's trustworthy. It is what makes a woman wise." So, I read those and think if I SEEK what is hidden in Christ, I will become wise- I will gain the treasures of wisdom.
I think that there are different levels of being "wild"- some that are further away from God than others, but just the same- for now I would put myself in the wild category- and though it sounds funny : ), because I'm not going to lie- there are parts of me that like being wild : ) there are also parts of me that desire to be wise.
Anyway, here's to another week ladies! Let's get wise! :)
Love to you both.
