This is why. Learning, as an attentive student, to words that offer wisdom, instruction helping you to see, giving you insight and the ability to understand. This is why. That you may be wise in your ventures, moral in your dealings. That you might teach the simple to be shrewd. That you might share the knowledge of your experience, righteous. A wise man will listen. Because he hears, his knowledge will be multiplied. And a man who seeks to know will sit comfortably at the feet of those who instruct. This is why. To obtain discernment of the world's darkness and it's light, and to gain the knowledge of the one who speaks. copyright 2025 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

The Dream of Solomon - Luca Giordano The way, the path you have been shown. The route, rough at times, has lingered by a sea with fishermen, it has crossed the barrenness of the countryside and delivered us to the Holy city. The way, the journey of uprightness embraces all if they but seek comfort. You will not stumble along this path, each stride will have purpose. The way, a proverb, from Father to Son, and then to the adopted. Instruction given from a bush, burning, from a small rise in a meadow, and from the wooden beams of new life. copyright 2025 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

Sometimes it is hard to do this, to put on love. We are told to hate the sin, but to embrace the sinner made in the creator's image. How difficult is this, when the iniquity of pride is celebrated by our world. Sometimes it is hard to do this, to be patient, when all is crumbling in our midst, when we are told that ungodliness is beautiful and our creator is prone to mistakes. We are told to let peace enter our hearts, in these times. Not just any peace, but His. Sometimes it is hard to do this, to let God's word enlighten wisdom in the depths of our souls, when daily the world slanders the giver of good things and spits at the base of His son's cross. copyright 2024 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author

Christ and the Pharisees - Alexander Bida The youth sits among the elders, quietly listening to the wisdom they share. They do not know Him. In twenty years some will. Some will listen to His words, they will see His works. Others will be deaf and blind. Does He interrupt them? For He has nothing to learn from them, and they have everything to learn from Him. But He listens. He knows these men with an intimacy we can never understand. Maybe a few of them will sit in judgement in twenty-one years. Maybe one will seek to wipe His brow. Soon the youth will no longer listen to men who wallow in their self-righteousness. He will confront their ideals out of love for the weak. But for now He listens knowing the Spirit of the Lord is upon Him. copyright 2024 - Donald P James Jr https://www.amazon.com/stores/Donald-P.-James-Jr./author
