Proverbs 3:13
Proverbs 3:13
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.
Wisdom and understanding are treasures that bring lasting happiness. This verse emphasizes the joy that comes from seeking wisdom and finding understanding. Birthdays are a time to reflect on the wisdom we have gained over the years, and to acknowledge that true happiness comes from aligning our hearts with God’s will. Wisdom leads to peace, joy, and contentment, and it helps us navigate the complexities of life. On a birthday, we can celebrate the wisdom we have gained and look forward to the wisdom yet to come. This verse encourages us to continue seeking understanding, knowing that it will lead to true joy. Wisdom is a gift that allows us to live with purpose and to make decisions that bring peace and fulfillment. As we grow older, we are reminded that true happiness is not found in material things, but in seeking God’s wisdom and living according to His truth. Birthdays are an opportunity to celebrate the wisdom we’ve received and pray for more understanding as we move forward in life.
