Wisdom is about what we call “discernment,” being able to tell what might be a better or worse choice for us. But there are much harder and more important decisions that will come our way in life. Wisdom could help me see that the fruit is a better option. Which choice might be wise? The candy sounds very appealing and fun in the moment…but we probably know that it would not be the most healthful choice in the long run. How do we do that? How do we make positive choices? For instance, let’s say that I need to decide between a candy bar ( hold up props) or a piece of fruit here. Wisdom is about our ability to use our minds in ways that help us serve God and make good decisions. Is that wisdom? Well, not really…you see, wisdom is not about what you know, but Who you know. Well, what is wisdom, anyway? How can we become wise? If I look or act smart, and I know important things, does that make me wise? Like, let’s say I have thick glasses, and a lot of books ( use props if you have them, putting on glasses and pulling over a stack of textbooks), and maybe I read some very fancy-sounding facts and information. If you could ask for anything in the world, what do you think you would want? Let’s say you were given one wish (and no wishing for more wishes!)…what would you ask for? Toys? Talent? Money? A big fancy house? How about…wisdom? Do you think you’d want to ask for that? Greet the children and begin with the question King Solomon was asked…
